The Repeating Carbine Model 1890 aka. Mannlicher Model 1890 Carbine is a bolt action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Mannlicher that used a new version of his straight-pull action bolt.[5] It was introduced as an alternative to the Mannlicher M1888 as it was shorter and easier to maneuver with. Three main versions were introduced: Cavalry Carbine, Gendarmerie Carbine[3] and Navy Short Rifle.
