1886 Dated Antique AUSTRIAN STEYR Model 1886 8mm Caliber KROPATSCHEK Rifle
With SLING, BAYONET, and SCABBARD with Frog
Description: 1886 Dated Antique AUSTRIAN STEYR Model 1886 8mm Caliber KROPATSCHEK Rifle With SLING, BAYONET, and SCABBARD with Frog Here we present an antique Austrian Steyr Model 1886 Kropatschek Rifle, made circa 1886 in Steyr, Austria. In the mid-1870s, an Austrian General, Alfred Ritter von Kropatschek began to develop a tubular magazine and cartridge lifter design in affiliation with Steyr Mannlicher. This system married the Vetterli’s tube magazine with a number of modern bolt actions. By the 1880s, a number of nations had adopted or refitted their existing rifles with Kropatschek’s under barrel tube magazine system. A Kropatschek is any variant of a rifle designed by General Kropatschek. His tubular magazine design was the same type used in the Japanese Murata Type 22 and the German Mauser Gewehr 1871/84. While designed for black powder, the Kropatschek action proved to be strong enough to handle smokeless powder. The overall condition is good. Strong, smooth action. Bright bore. Solid stock containing less than expected wear. “1886” dated received. Numbers on the barrel and frame match. The bayonet, scabbard, and leather sling are in good shape. Visible markings are legible. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 32-1/4 inches. Caliber: 8mm Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1600 #217923 SOLD Antique: Yes |
