M95 Stutzen (short rifle) right
The short rifles were the same action & stock as the rifles, but w/a shorter forend & barrel, the swivel arrangements were also different, the rifle had both swivels on the bottom, Stutzen usually had a swivel both on the top & the bottom at front & rear, there were a number of different swivel styles & there are some w/2,3 & 4 locations. The Stutzen were issued to "special" troops, artillery, engineers, fortification etc, the M95 cavalry carbine is a bit different, it is the same size (length etc) as the Stutzen but has different fittings, swivels only on the side of the wrist & the middle band, no bayonet lug & no stacking hook, original cavalry carbines are extremely rare as most were fitted w/Stutzen fittings starting late in the war & thereafter
Other Sizes: Original
