Not only are you now fully doing WWII guns, you're also doing more Mannlicher straight pulls (my favorites) AND you're doing the coveted 95/24, and it's a banger as always. This is awesome. I think I might cry.
My first rifle in 1964 was an M95 Carbine in 8 x 56R, bought in Inverness, Scotland for deer culling. Ammunition became progressively more difficult to find with the only non-mercuric primer, sporting ammunition being made by Hirtenberger, which was both rare and expensive. In 1967, I sold it to a collector.
@@jonathanhudak2059 I think it was £24 19/6d. I suspect the staff at the gun smiths were rolling about laughing when I left, saying: "well I thought we would never manage to sell that heap of junk." It took a lot of work with a slip stone, to get the straight pull bolt working smoothly.
@wilsonlaidlaw glad you were able to get the action smoothed out on it too. 👌 i have one of these carbines as well and with aome WW2 era German ammo its a shoulder kicker for sure!
@@ronalddunne3413 I doubt Ballistol was available in the north of Scotland in the 1960s. You used Parker No.3 solvent or if you had been using mercuric primer ammunition, you had to pour boiling water down the barrel, followed by Parker No.3. I now have a can of Ballistol in France for cleaning my black powder vintage revolvers, which I use for target shooting competitions, the only form of shooting I now do, as being an elderly person (over 75), I am allowed to do it from a seated position.
As an avid Mannlichers collector & long-term fan of this show... I can only give you thumbs up for more Mannlichers content 😂❤. M95M is one of the few variations I haven't layed my hands on yet. And maybe one I'll never get 😒.
100% AGREE on all. Funny I got a Finish/Russian for myself and my Bro years ago with ammo. Years latter I find out our POS? Finish mosin-nagants are collectors items I paid $49 or $69 with a cases of ammo he is still shooting. I ended up with Swede, Crech, and Greman Mausers in this family. 80's and 90's are the golden years for this stuff, I was of age, interested, employed, independent, and buddies with guys who got on both ends of these things, I love history and mechanics. Still do.
Man, that podcast clip on youtube censorship at the end is so sad and frustrating; monopolies are awful. Thanks for all the amazing work you guys do, despite that! :)
I recently bought ballistol, it was slightly more expensive than my usual purchase, but i have noticed less rust buildup, even on metals with little to no finish.
I use ballistol as a Reenactor and Collector for every Gun, Bayonet and Metal Part i have. Even to soften up stiff leather and clean freshly painted Helmets for a less shiny colour.
Oh man. I can't imagine how insane the team will go doing the interwar/ww2 Enfields. Also a Garand episode but I feel like the 1911 we will have to wait for that one.
This didn’t show up in my subscription feed at all, I don’t know if TH-cam was mad because it’s a “conversion” rifle or whatever so sorry I didn’t see it until now 😢 Thanks for going through yugo history it’s kinda a forgotten corner and often overlooked, I use ballistol often as it’s a good tool cleaner and gun cleaner and just a multi use product that I like having around and I love how it smells. 😅
The Mosin being obsolete after WW1 is very true. There is a certain level of elegance and grace that many of WW1 rifles had, the Mosin is not one of them. If any rifle could ever be classified as looking like a turd from the get go it would be the Mosin.
It's funny that this was the next rifle video ya'll did, cause the last c&r gun I was looking at was a different straight pull bolt action. A very swiss bolt action.
I just have a m95 carbine converted to 8x56R (was a carbine to start with, not a cut down rifle) and I like to tilt it to the left and pull back the cocking piece to take the safety off. It’s not super fast but it’s very quiet and doesn’t break your grip.
Omgawsh that's so freaking cool! A straight pull modified Mannlicher that kinda sorta looks like a Mauser in parts and shoots 7.92x57! I didn't know that existed till today. I'd trade a kidney for that rifle 😂 wow
@ hm, I think people of certain nationality equals an ethnic group. From which people if Croatian nationality are Croats. It can be confusing because there is not a language rule how names for nation groups are formed…Americans, Germans and alike just get the -s, but then you have your Turks, French, Spaniards, Poles…
@@bboyshr6 Well it could be possible for someone of Croatian citizenship to not be a Croat. But it is confusing for sure, English doesn't usually make that distinction while most languages do (e.g. russki vs. rossiyane). I think it works that way in your language too but I'm not sure.
@@bboyshr6 If someone moved to Croatia from somewhere else and earned citizenship maybe. So got naturalized. Because there are Croats living in Argentina but they're still Croats.
Following your explanation about labels. If the label T was for Turkish, SE for Saint Etienne, M (Madjarska)is the logical sequence for Hungarian. Probably most of the equipment was taken from Hungary (perhaps the Kingdom of Hungary as an entity of the empire or an independent state in the years to come), it looks like someone used the mark according to the name used at the time the mark was placed on the weapon.
You got most of the changes. At least you didn't repeat the stupidity that is 'they welded the clip in place'. Two things you got incorrect: As far as I know the clip release button was not ground off. I've never seen an example anyway, in person or in pictures. The ejector was not lengthened. This is a commonly misstated change. The head of the ejector, the part the interacts with the brass, was reshaped to be more rounded. This makes the ejector slightly shorter, front to back, than the original. They are still about the same height. And three things you missed: The follower is at a different, more tipped forward, angle. You can see the difference at 17:43 in your video. The extension on the bottom of the receiver where the clip goes through has been milled away. Making the area even with the forward area of the receiver. The feed ramp on the receiver has been modified the same as the front of the magazine, to fit the longer 8mm round. If you've read this far, there is a decent write up you can find on this subject entitled "Modifications to the M95 to create the M95M /24. +Some operations of the M95/M clip". You can find it if you do a goggle search.
Reader of the older editions of Small Arms of The World will remember the Dire Warnings of shooting converted Mannlichers to Mauser ammo. Apparently it was not an issue with Yugo conversions.
I want to restore mine. It's all numbers matching in 38 thousand range. I need the full stock setup. She was sportered but I think its worth restoring.
I would suggest using a different map as this one 9:32 is not very good. It appears to depict regions of the World but the border between Europe and Asia is completely wrong as it shows the border of the Soviet Union instead. Otherwise great content.
When you live where all people do is fight, you make your PEWs as you can. Genius. I'd think the stamped feed lip insert would become worn and become dysfunctional over time?
Do I stay or do you go? Sorry, to hydrated to be funny in a good taste. But given the amazing mishmash of arms inherited post WW1 the Yougo series is going to be something I'll stay for.
My shoulder hurts.. and I just have to watch these. Seriously these have some STIFF recoil. When they went to 8x56R they prioritized machine gun performance over rifle use.. 8mm mauser in these? ouch!
Does TH-cam explain WHY machine guns are against their rules? Do they atleast have a listed reason i know its not a logical reason but surely they atleast have an excuse
Again, wrong info about Yugoslav M.1924 ammo. Ammo adopted was BELGIAN modification of 7,9mm round with s.S. Patrone-style bullet (almost the same as round that Germans adopted in 1933 for universal use). Large quantity of such ammo was bought from Belgium, along with license for domestic production.
Still doesn't know how to pronounce Mannlicher properly. 😅 It's okay, but I'm not sure how to explain it with just text, but I can assure it's _not_ "Mannlicker."
It’s one of those sounds that’s just too much of a pain to reproduce for an English speaker so we do our basic approximation that’s close enough for us to know what we are talking about.
I've owned an 8x57mm M95 Mannlicher for many years. It's JUNK. Cycle the action smartly and the bolt flies out of the receiver. Good luck getting it back in! No Mauser 98 ever did that. 😂
Mauser 98s will do that if their bolt stop is damaged which sounds like the exact issue your rifle has. That’s not normal. Maybe fix it before passing judgement… 🤔

I LOVE the recoil comparison at 37:33. This show never fails to entertain and educate. This last shirt run was fantastic too, keep it up y'all!
I love Ballistol. It's even making my hair to grow stronger.
...and your toenails
Ballistol saved my marriage and cured my cat's tuberculosis.
Yes more interwar rifles and specially more of the Manlichers
Thanks
Bought Ballistol for my English Civil War enacting neighbour for Christmas. Him getting WD40 in his fishpond was the final straw.
Wd40 is about the worst product you can use on a gun especially BP it just turns to sludge
Man, that podcast clip on youtube censorship at the end is so sad and frustrating; monopolies are awful. Thanks for all the amazing work you guys do, despite that! :)
Thank you all once again. Great content
Dreaming of a Schwarzlose (two-part) episode 🥲
This is absolutely amazing! The effort and creativity you put into this video really shine through. Keep up the great work!
Othias has two loves in his life: firearms and shirts. Today it’s firearms.

Oh, and Carolina Mustard sauce….how could I forget the mustard sauce
Don’t forget scooters/motorcycles!
I recently bought ballistol, it was slightly more expensive than my usual purchase, but i have noticed less rust buildup, even on metals with little to no finish.
31:10 As someone who's experienced a case failure in an M95, I can emphatically confirm that there's basically no gas mitigation at all.
I’ve been drinking more Ballistol like you guys recommend. I have to say it’s not all it’s hyped up to be.
You're supposed to mix it or just put it in your coffee
I use ballistol as a Reenactor and Collector for every Gun, Bayonet and Metal Part i have. Even to soften up stiff leather and clean freshly painted Helmets for a less shiny colour.

For some reason I just really like the looks of the old single stack exposed magazines especially on early Mausers
Excellent, once again!

Happy to help you roll over to 1000 likes!
I do quite like the Mannlicher straight pulls. They weren’t the best rifles of the war but they’re pretty interesting for how prolific they were.
Love the content. Thank you!
Great Video!
FINALLY MORE MANNLICHER
Man Lickers!
Anothrr informative episode as always.

I use Ballistol on the flywheel of my spinning bike (which uses an old fashioned leather brake). Works great ^^
Ballistol for safety razor? That I didn't think of.....
Love it! Also thanks for saying Croats which is correct instead of Croatians which people usually say 🇭🇷
Wouldn't "Croatians" mean "people of Croatian nationality", while "Croats" means the ethnic group? Or am I hallucinating that?

Just kidding... I love your channel. Ordered several shirts over the years
Any possible of a series of tier ranking lists now Mae has done so many tests?
Yay new primer!!
Also Ballistol does smell good, and it makes my guns and boots and belts and scabbards smell good as well
I know that modifying an existing rifle is cheaper than making a new rifle, but by how much? Look at the man hours, mill/lathe time to do each rifle.

Always had soft spot for this rifle😊
Ahh, this is the good stuff. 🙂👍
The pinnacle of dwarf magic only matched by the 35m.
If you stood in the right place you could see where the wave crested...
Last time I was this early, Yugoslavia was still alive enough to use this Mannlicher!
never thought id see you guys cover this one. This is awesome
You got most of the changes. At least you didn't repeat the stupidity that is 'they welded the clip in place'.
Two things you got incorrect:
As far as I know the clip release button was not ground off. I've never seen an example anyway, in person or in pictures.

I want to restore mine. It's all numbers matching in 38 thousand range. I need the full stock setup. She was sportered but I think its worth restoring.
Surprised to see this variant pop up
I have one almost whole rifle. The extractor claw broke and is newt to impossible to find.
What could you do if you got a m95m but the cilp is missing? Are you just out of luck?
Maybe would be trying to 3d print one if there's enough space for the plastic. (plastic needs more width than sheet metal)
Ebay
Yugoslavia ❤❤❤❤

Depends on the heat treatment and material. Normal feed lips are stamped sheet metal too.
But these ones are easier to replace.
Ballistol is on its way to replacing most of my firearms cleaners and lubricants as well as my cutting and drilling fluids in my blacksmith shop.
Mae always looks like she is taking a beating in the slow mo.
Whoot whoot
igo where?
Now for the elusive 95/41M
Do I stay or do you go?
Sorry, to hydrated to be funny in a good taste. But given the amazing mishmash of arms inherited post WW1 the Yougo series is going to be something I'll stay for.
Now I'll stop ignoring Mannlichers at gun shows.
I have a unfortunately sporterized hungarian mannlicher 35m
I need an integral clip for a M95M - in case any of you hardcore collectors watching read this. I’m in the US. Hit me up! Thx guys
A Mannlicher actually designed by Mannlicher? Unpossible!
Wow
For Al Go.
By the way the current name of the F.O.M.U. is PPU (Prvi Partizan Uzice)!
Watch the video it was mentioned
Im suffering from reprocussion withdrawal
Interestingly taking and modifying weapons from enemies is something even socialist Yugoslavia done with its modified copies of Mg 42, MP 40 and Kar98
For the algorithm. 🟦⬜️🟥
My converted .95 does not like steel case. As far as recoil my Milsurps now tend to wear a slip on pad under $10 and money well spent.
no music. Music had not yet been invented in Yugoslavia during this time period.
They stopped doing it because people kept filing copyright claims on public domain music
My shoulder hurts.. and I just have to watch these. Seriously these have some STIFF recoil. When they went to 8x56R they prioritized machine gun performance over rifle use.. 8mm mauser in these? ouch!
Using ballistol on my beard…
Drinking Ballistol, lol, classic me.

It’s a pain to say correctly without sounding like you have a cheek full of cotton balls, so we just don’t bother.
From what I understand it's closer to 'Monn leash err'.

This is Serbian model M95, produce in 1895. During the time of production rifle Yugoslavia doesn't exist. Yugoslavia is born after first world war.
Serbia did not domestically produce the M.95. These conversions were made from former Austro-Hungarian rifles after the First World War in Yugoslavia.
