B Grade M.95 Steyr Mannlicher Carbine Cal. 8x50R
The M.95 rifles are in fair condition. These B Grade carbines will have some wood cracks such as at the wrist or near the toe of the stock, possibly some missing rear sight components, etc. but the bolts are functional. All of these carbines use the 8x50R ammunition. The metal condition is generally fair but may have surface pitting and/or light rust. May be a small metal part such as a missing stacking rod, extractor, sling swivel and/or screw. May have a handmade stock replacement, most have their original stock.
Please note the photo shown above is of an excellent condition carbine. The remaining carbines are in fair condition and will be in the condition described above.
These guns come straight out of Ethiopia and are in fair to good condition. We do have Budapest and Steyr arsenals available. A specific manufacturer can be chosen by the customer. If there is no preference, the option does not have to be selected and a carbine will be picked for the standard price. The remaining carbines we have left are in fair to good condition, and will have more surface finish wear as well as wear on the stocks. The stocks might have some minor dents or small cracks.
Bores range from poor to good. Please remember that these guns are 100+ years old and back then there were no “non Corrosive” primers available.

I got a Budapest Carbine today, stock has zero cracks, bore is dark but has good rifling. It has a faint AOI stamp. It’s missing the magazine follower screw but that’s an easy fix. I will buy more

Recieved a long rifle that had been cut down into a short rifle. Stock had been cut down, big ugly repair to the toe of the stock. Had pressed in chrome tacs on both sides. Bore is real bad. Underslung with no side swivels. Rear sight missing parts. No finish remaining.

I received my rifle last week , it is a Budapest that has barely legible markings on the receiver, from the pitting and likely wire wheeling I’d assume. It certainly has a lot of pitting on the barrel receiver and bolt. I think I got one of the bad ones, thought I understand it is a very cheap rifle. Stock if fair I would say with only a couple small cracks , stock cleaned up nicely. Bore is very poor I would say not much rifling left. Do not have high expectations with these, I still believe it is safe to shoot and is not missing any parts at all. The fun is in the cleanup

I don’t know why but I bought 2 full sized m95s and 2 carbines and the carbines all were fairly bad probably closer to C grade. The full sized ones were good for the price.

I have to say I’m suprised I got such a good condition B grade. The only problem is that it has a small but repairable crack in the handguard otherwise the bore and wood condition are fantastic

Received my carbine and its as advertised but I have not disassembled it yet. It is complete with the exception of missing the rear sight slider. A good bore with very good rifling it is dirty but still drops the firing pin when you pull the trigger. The stock is a little rough, but some Acraglas should fix the issue. A great first world war rifle for the collector or someone interested in trying to restore old rifles.

I got mine in and it met all expectations. Crack at the toe and needs a new safety spring.
The stock was good other than the crack and cleaned up nicely.
The bore looks as if it was cleaned recently and there is decent rifling present. Money well spent.

The Carbine I received was as advertised. It had one small crack at the wrist. The bore ended up being in good condition and the rifle cleaned up nicely. I will say out of the several different firearms I have received from RTI only a couple were in a non-usable condition.

2nd carbine I got did not fire, I’m gonna try to fix it, maybe it’s the trigger, bolt looks ok, gonna cannibalise my first one

Picked one of these up on sale and for $150 I got my moneys worth. Pulling lots of gunk out of the bore but there’s rifling visible so im hoping it will shoot well.
The trigger housing and inner receiver have some of the heaviest rust i’ve received on a firearm from RTI which is surprising since it looks like the exterior barrel and most of the receiver have original blueing left with convertible rust.
What its missing is minimal. Stacking rod, rear sight slider, and a very small crack in the upper handguard.
We’ll see how it all turns out after some elbow grease but $150 for a milsurp in 2024 is a steal

Just got my Carbine in today; first impressions are good. All hardware intact outside of the sight slider. Handguard is cracked, but shouldn’t be a difficult fix. Most of the metal surfaces are rust free for the exterior. Interior is heavily rusted, but bolt functions and has it’s safety. Rifling is worn and corroded, but still present. Has a very prominent AOI stamp like I was hoping, Should clean up nicely.
Zero complaints for the $150 price tag.

Mine came exactly as the picture depicted, much to my pleasant surprise. The only complaint was the stiffly curved/bent stacking rod in the front that definitely wasn’t original to the design.
Overall though, they worked functionally and were well worth the discounted price at ~$200 and thus would be a 5 star review in my book.
