Ferdinand Mannlicher's first straight-pull bolt actionrifle that was designed in 1886, to serve as the standard infantry weapon for Austria-Hungary. The rifle was quickly made obsolete by the introduction of the Lebel Model 1886 rifle with its new smokeless cartridge. As such it was quickly replaced in Austrian service by more modern Mannlicher rifles, up to Mannlicher m1895.
It used a wedge-lock straight pull action bolt. It was the first straight-pull bolt-action service rifle of any nation.
