Steyr Arms is a firearms manufacturer based in Sankt Peter in der Au, Austria. Originally part of Steyr-Daimler-Puch, it became independent when the conglomerate was broken up in 1989.[1] Prior to 1 January 2019, the company was named Steyr Mannlicher AG.
History[edit]
The company logo 1869–1926
Steyr has been on the 'iron road' to the nearby Erzberg mine since the days of the StyrianOtakar dukes and their Babenberg successors in the 12th and 13th century, and has been known as an industrial site for forging weapons.[citation needed] The privilege of iron and steel production, particularly for knives, was renewed by the Habsburg duke Albert of Austria in 1287. After the Thirty Years' War, thousands of muskets, pistols, and carbines were produced annually for the Habsburg Imperial Army.[citation needed]
In 1821, Leopold Werndl (1797–1855), a blacksmith in Steyr, began manufacturing iron parts for weapons. After his father's death, 24-year-old Josef Werndl (1831–1889) took over his factory. On April 16, 1864, he founded the 'Josef und Franz Werndl & Comp. Waffenfabrik und Sägemühle in Oberletten' (Josef and Franz Werndl & Partners Weapons Factory and Sawmill in Oberletten), from which later emerged the 'Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft' (ŒWG, Austrian Arms-Manufacturing Company), a stock company (AG) since 1869, of which the Steyr Mannlicher firearm production was a part.

Werndl's cooperation with engineer Ferdinand Mannlicher (1848–1904), who had patented an advanced repeating rifle in use by the Austro-Hungarian Army, made ŒWG one of the largest weapon manufacturers in Europe. First applied in 1890, the Mannlicher M1901, and the Steyr-Hahn M1912 became milestones in auto-loading pistol technology.[citation needed] At the beginning of World War I, with more than 15,000 employees, production output was 4,000 weapons per day.
Aftermath of World War I[edit]
After the war, weapons production in Steyr was all but entirely prohibited according to the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain, and the company faced bankruptcy. To survive, the ŒWG converted their machinery to concentrate on producing Steyr automobiles under chief designers Hans Ledwinka and Ferdinand Porsche, as well as bicycles (colloquially called Waffenräder ('weapon bicycles')). In 1926 the company changed its name to 'Steyr-Werke'. The production of Steyr Mannlicher weapons continued in cooperation with Patronenfabrik Solothurn AG at Zuchwil in neutral Switzerland.
World War II[edit]
After the Austrian Anschluss to Nazi Germany in 1938, the Steyr factories were incorporated into the Reichswerke Hermann Göring industrial conglomerate and the outbreak of World War II provided a brief revival in weapons production. Like many other companies, Steyr Mannlicher relied on forced labour, employing from the Steyr-Münichholz subcamp of KZ Mauthausen.
1950s[edit]
During the 1950s the Mannlicher–Schönauer full stock rifle experienced a renaissance.[citation needed] Simultaneously, the re-emergence of the Austrian Armed Forces in the Second Republic was the base for new military weapons production.
The AUG[edit]
In the 1970s, Steyr developed an innovative assault rifle, the StG 77. A bullpup design, the StG 77 extensively utilized synthetic materials, and integrated fixed optics. The export version became the Steyr AUG--Armee Universal Gewehr ('Universal Army Rifle'), eventually used by the armed forces of over 24 countries.[citation needed] It has been prominently featured in films such as Octopussy, Commando, and Die Hard and Surviving The Game.[2]

Our Assessment: This Steyr Mannlicher Model 1895/30 Short Rifle started out as a full size Model 1895. It has been arsenal converted to an M95 Short Rifle. Starting in 1930 these rifles were arsenal converted to a newer, more powerful round. The “S” on the barrel shank denotes the conversion to 8x56R. The new designation for the rifle is the Model 1895/30 Short Rifle (see pages 30 to 37 of Joe Puleo’s book, Bolt Action Military Rifles of the World). It has been reworked so the finish is nice and the markings are still deep. This one will add to your Mannlicher or Military collection.
