J&G $99 Styer M95 carbine (pics)

[redspoon]

Possibly the only $99 milsurp you can purchase on line. Had enough grease on it to pack a set of wheel bearings, cleaned up real nice though. Bore is a little dark, but with real nice lands and grooves. This one started life as a long rifle in 1918, and in the twenty's or thirty's shortened and re-chambered from 8x50 to 8x56. The repair on butt stock was where the sling swivel would have been on the long rifle it's now on the left side of the wrist. S/N's on shank, receiver and butt stock match. It also has the Austrian eagles, one on the shank and one on receiver. The front sight is the tall one, used for Police short range duty. I already had the clips and 20 rounds of the Nazi ammo, just for display of course. I got 40 rounds of Privi modern ammo coming for range use, looks like this one wont be going to the range much.$$$
It's about 1/2 inch shorter than my M44's and a little lighter in weight. It shoulders real nice and feels good in my hands, hope it shoots well.

That is a nice rifle, and I bet you will be very happy that you bought it at that price one day.

I am glad to know someone got one and likes it. I find it hard not to buy a $100.00 surplus rifle and have looked at those many times. The price and availability of ammo has kept me away. I have a hard time buying something I can't afford to shoot.

[jayrocka1200]

how hard is it really to reload ? that's why I don't buy one either, heck I might buy one anyway soon now that I have this C & R I really like the look of those and they always look to be in really good shape

Sure looks like a nice one Red. Love the color of the stock.

There is brass and dies for it. The one problem with reloading it is the size of the bullet. It is .330 so it ouwldn't use the regular 8mm bullets. I was at my local reload place and they are carrying carcano bullets so the probly could be talked into getting these also. I aquired 3 boxes of hornady for my 2. There is prvi for about 20 bucks a box. That is close to the same as mosin ammo of prvi.

Very nice, I have one that I picked up at a local gun show, one of my favorite rifles.

Even if you don't shoot these that much they are plain cool rifles. Comeon man!! They are a hundred smacks. You guys spend more on food for cryin out loud. Maybe even more on beer? Maybe some ammo will hit the market from someones wharehouse...maybe
These are worth every penny of the $100. Heck if it makes ya feel better and you want to spend $200 then get 2. They are fun as heck to shoot also.

Thats a nice looking rifle..

[Rongo]

Nice!! I still need to get one of those....

[bunkysdad]

The condition of this one looks great. Lee makes a bullet mold for this round. Loading cast bullets coyld open up a whole new opportunity to shoot these, and you could load them to suit your taste and the recoil would be much more managable than the hot surplus ammo. Congrats on a excellent buy.

You got a very nice one. I have 2, 2 carbines and a rifle. Fun to shoot but they do kick.

[Ban-One]

Absolutely beautiful and with some great markings! You are going to love shooting this one...hang on tight! These have a reputation for shooting a little high. Use an oversized target at 100 yards to see where the bullets are hitting. Looking forward to the range report!

That's a really nice looking rifle. I have a Steyr, also from J&G. I have not shot mine yet, maybe this spring.
