Mannlicher M1895

8 mm bolt-action rifle

The Mannlicher M1895 is an Austro-Hungarian straight pull bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher that used a refined version of his revolutionary straight-pull action bolt, much like the Mannlicher M1890 carbine. It was nicknamed the Ruck-Zuck-[Gewehr] by Austrian troops and "Ta-Pum" by Italian troops, who wrote a song (it) about it during World War I. The primary producers were the ŒWG in Steyr and FÉG in Budapest.
