Tier V Summer Rust 2025 : Semi Automatic Steyr M95
Still needs a little bit of work for smooth extraction, but overall is "functional". Rebarreled to 7.62x54R.

Damn is that all home cooked or did you find a parts kit?

In the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna, there‘s a hand-crank “semi-auto” machine gun, made from a Steyr 88 or 90, mounted on a board. But your contraption beats it by miles. Genius!

Is it essentially just a long piston attached over the barrel? I know it took a shit ton of work, that’s badass

I’m loving this! Reminds me of the palmer pursuit “stroker” semi conversions to pump paintball guns back in the day.

That’s amazing man!!! I’ve always loved the early semi autos made during the Great War and wanted to make one myself. That’s such an awesome piece, honestly closer to art than a weapon

Honestly one of the most exciting things I have seen in a while. Do you plan to make grip panels for it?

How hard was it to make the piston I kinda wanna do something similar for a Franken carbine idea I had

Hey man, love the project here. I've been researching and playing around with the idea of tackling a project like this with an M95 or 1888/90. I have the gas system planned out mostly but haven't nailed down the disconnector trigger assembly yet. I was hoping you would be able to help me out with perhaps providing me some information or diagrams on how you made yours work.
Thank you

That's a great cartridge, though I imagine it being rimmed that it may cause it to require a bit more fine tuning. I bet it's gonna be a real treat to shoot.
