With more than 3-million Ruck-Zucks manufactured 1895-1921, these guns have been on the surplus market worldwide since the Prohibition era. This was mitigated by the short rifle variant, a handy little 7-pound carbine that used a 19-inch barrel and has a very distinctive stacking rod on the front barrel band. This meant that the original M95 would be considered huge by today’s standards at 50-inches long overall with a 29.5-inch barrel. To put it in perspective this gun was designed just 30-years after the American Civil War and long-barreled rifles that could mount a decent bayonet were the standard for warfare at the time. Between the fast bolt and the one-piece reload of the enbloc clip, it was possible for a trained rifleman to fire up to 30-rounds per minute with the M95. Once the rounds were loaded the clip would fall free through an opening in the bottom of the magazine box and was reusable. This is not unlike the 8-shot enbloc of the M1 Garand familiar here in the US. To reload this fast-operating bolt gun, the M95 was charged with a five-shot enbloc spring steel clip that was held inside the rifle.
