I really need one. It is not the same forend cap which fits the ordinary Steyr M95 stock. The M95M is the rifle the Germans built in the same factory after they occupied Austria in WWII. Instead of being chambered for 8x56R as the original M95 was, it is barreled & chambered for the standard German 7.9x57S service round and, presumably to enable the use of a bayonet on it, the forend cap was changed to something more like but not the same as the standard model K98k cap.

I will kiss your foot at high noon in the public square and give you a week to draw a crowd to witness the event if you will help me find and buy one. Wink

Have you tried www.sarcoinc.com as they have carried many parts for the M95, don't know about the M95M? Good luck

I have tried both Sarco and Numerich. No luck at either one. Thanks for the idea.

FYI - I've been doing bunch of research on the
M95M. From what I have read, it now appears to me that Das Deutcheslunders produced a lot of them with a forend bayonet assembly MUCH LIKE the K98k, some others with a bayonet assembly EXACTLY LIKE the K98k, and some with no provision to accept a bayonet at all.

The latter have a front band with a sling swivel, but no cap at all.

On close examination, I think maybe the latter is what mine was (and still is).

That's a little confusing, as I thought I had tried unsuccessfully to put a Dutch M95 Hembrug end cap and bayonet on it and it would go part way into place. But maybe not. What is on there now seems to fit perfectly. It may well be I just compared one of my Hembrug forend caps with it and never went any farther as it was an obvious "no go".
