Wänzl rifle
Produced by Wänzl
The Wänzl or Wänzel rifle was a breechloading conversion of the Lorenz M1854 and M1862 rifles. The Austro-Hungarian Empire used the Wänzel as their service rifle until they had enough Werndl-Holub M1867 rifles to arm the military. The rifle was a lifting block breechloader chambered for the 14×33mmRF cartridge. The Austrians converted a total of 70,000 Lorenz muskets to Wänzels.
