The one I own is a long rifle. The bolt face seems to have had a shim added to the circumference that the existing guide extended to. It happens to fit a 30-30 casing perfectly, yet will not chamber. Also, my rifle will not accommodate an 8X50 nor an 8X56. A strange mystery.
Kyle Iverson If there is a broken case in the chamber it will block both from chambering. When the head of the case rips off sometimes the brass left inside can be hard to see but is still there and old and tarnished. This may be your issue. You'll see this problem on Chinese Type 53 carbines too!
the rifles should be in unmarked 8x50 or marked with a S or H for conversion to 8x56, if do not have brass then a chamber casting will be the only way to determine the caliber.
TheKoba49 don’t have any marks of an h or an s lol that’s why I’m trying to find any info, everything’s stamped with a small r... and the year stamp is W-N 18 I got 2 shell casings on the way from buffalo arms.
If you already own the gun do a chamber cast because I have seen one in 8mm Mauser
Do you happen to know if the m95 can be in other calibers besides 8X50 or 8X56?

8X57 also comes nowhere close to fitting either.

@@kyleiverson6856 Do a chamber cast
Need some help, how do you tell if you don’t have any of the guns brass?
