Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Steyr Model 1895 emerged from a series of design improvements following Ferdinand Mannlicher's original straight-pull bolt action rifle, the M84, introduced in 1884, which featured a gravity-fed magazine. In 1885, the design was enhanced with a clip-fed magazine that ejected from the top when empty. By 1896, the en bloc Mannlicher magazine was incorporated, holding five rounds and designating the rifle as the M86. In 1888, the caliber was changed from the original 11mm to the 8×50R black powder cartridge. The rifle was further modified in 1890 to the M1888/90 to accommodate smokeless powder, with adjustments to the sights for improved trajectory accuracy. That same year, a new design called the Repetier-Carabiner M90 was introduced, featuring locking lugs at the front of the bolt for better support against cartridge head pressures. The M90 measured 39.5 inches in overall length, with a barrel length of 19.5 inches, and weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. Its stock lacked a handguard and was secured by a single barrel band. The final iteration, the Repetier-Gewehr M95, included only minor modifications but was noted for its strength. It was produced in three configurations: the 50-inch infantry rifle, the 40-inch short rifle (Repetier-Stutzen, meaning "support" in German), weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz., designed for use by signals, artillery, and engineers, and featuring a stacking hook, bayonet lug, and sling swivels on the stock's underside; and the 39.5-inch cavalry carbine, weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz., which lacked a stacking hook and bayonet lug, with sling swivels positioned on the left side of the stock. The carbine's front sling swivel was located 2.125 inches further back than that of the Stutzen.

The M95 was initially manufactured at the Steyr plant, marked "STEYR M95," and later in Budapest, at an arsenal established on an island by Steyr, marked "BUDAPEST M95." Both facilities also produced the M95 for Bulgaria, marked with the Bulgarian Lion Crest. Following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, armaments were redistributed as war reparations to Greece, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. In 1930, the Austrian government updated most of their rifles, including Stutzens and carbines, rechambering them for the more powerful 8×56R cartridge.
