Steyr Kropatschek Model 1886 infantry rifle. These rifles were buit for Portugal with a total production of only 49,000 pieces (1886 to 1893) This piece shows a miss match bolt as do practically all of these rifles. (#M854). This piece shows a bright, very good bore. 8 X 60 R later 8 X 56R. This example shows most of its original blue turned brown and the correct bright bolt. The wood is above average (not oil soaked) showing its original finish with clear stampings. The stock is mounted with its original rod and a repairable chip at the base of the buttplate. Essentially, this rifle was a copy of the Mauser 71/84 built by Steyr in Austria. ( Non Resticted)
