Product Information

Very Rare Steyr Kropatschek M1886 Short Rifle, chambered 8mm obsolete calibre. Very few of these rifles were made, only around 49,000 in total. This example is a very low serial number (A693) and is from the first batches produced. The receiver is marked with the year of manufacture (1886) with Portuguese Royal Crown over the initials LI, this is the cipher for King Luiz I, who reigned from 1861 to 1889.  Designed by Alfred Ritter von Kropatchek this rifle shares many design features with the French Mle 1878 rifle and incorporates a clever spoon shaped cartridge lifter mechanism to feed rounds in from the loading tube which runs underneath the barrel. A rare rifle which can be owned completely live without any form of license. It has a full working action and can be cocked, stripped and dry fired.
