Very interesting features for the first year of issue..Condition wasn't the best, but find another one this early in its original configuration... http://www.gunbroker.com/item/634609994
I wonder if the buyer realized he bought a Hungarian rifle in that Austrian listing? Or did I miss something , being a noob, in that they were built in Austria or such? In which case mine would be Austrian a s well.
Not to go all history lesson but they were part of the same Austro-Hungarian Empire so even though it was designed and initially built in Austria by Steyr is was very quickly brought into production by the then new FEG in Budapest, Hungary. Materially and esthetically I've noted very little difference between the two.
Inquisitive, not argumentative. So none were manufactured in the last 5 weeks or so of '96? Any thoughts about preproduction prototypes or 'trials' guns? Manufactured on the assembly floor or more of a handbuilt prototyping laboratory?
