AmericanRifleman.org - Steyr Model 95
The gun shop where I work has one of these little carbines in very good condition as a very low price and I've considered adding it to my arsenal, just for fun. Ammo is hard to find, 8x56R, but we got some of the ammo and stripper clips from the former owner who sold it to us.

The only thing that gives me pause is what one of our customers who is knowledgeable about military surplus rifles called it: a Slobberknocker.

Graf & Sons is producing 8x56R ammo for Hornady, and I believe Prvi Partizan is importing some as well, so the ammo condition is light years better than it was four or five years ago, where it was surplus or nothing.

Don't lose the clips!
