My neighbor with an FFL got in a pair of M-95 carbines last week. One was in VERY good condition, very good clean blond stock, almost perfect finish on steel with reciever stamped BUDAPEST 1914. When I saw that the origional serial number before the importer added a few more digits was 1776, I knew I wanted it badly.......
However, the sear mechanism was completely missing, and when we got the cosmoline plug out of the barrel, we found lots of rust, and "sewer pipe " would be a good discription.
Stan called the distributer, and they are replacing it, due to the missing parts, but it was a big let down......
On the bright side, it's sister, although a little rougher on the outside, is brite shiny and sharp on the inside, and came home with me......
Got it cleaned up, and the bore slugs at .325..... I expected something in the .329 to .330 range for an 8 x 56 R.......
I expanded some 7.62 x 54 cases with a 8 mm Lebel die, and launched a few 00 buckshot with Red Dot powder just for fun.... Got minute of bunny group very near point of aim at 20 yards....... Nothing definitive for sure, but a nice start......
I really don't need another project now but 95 carbines are getting harder to find these days, and I'll have a lot more time in a few years.........
