I will soon be receiving a nice old Steyr Mannlicher m1886. I know it was Austro-Hungarian Empire military rifle for a shot time. Also according to Wikipedia 100,000 were made and most were converted later on to use 8x52 ammo (m1886-88).

Mine is still in 11x58 so would that make it one of the rarer original caliber guns? Also to be honest I know very little about it. I have done some research but most info I find is about the later 8mm M95 rifles.

I bought it since it seemed cheap.

Anyone willing to share their knowledge of these firearms with me?

Cheers
