M1895 Austrian Steyr rifle
8x56R
| This is a nice
representative piece. This has been converted from the original 8x50R
round. These conversions were typically done under NAZI occupation, and
were used to arm rear area troops and police.. 8x56R rifles are fairly
uncommon, being that most in that calibre were also converted to carbine
length.
Trust me, the rifle length makes the
otherwise brutal (in a carbine) 8x56R round bearable to shoot.
Elsewhere on this site you will find
my other M1895 Steyr rifle, in the original 8x50R round. |
