Description:
Serial #74998, 6.5mm Swedish, 29 1/2” barrel with threaded muzzle and an excellent, bright bore. This is a 1900 dated, and all matching rifle that retains about 97-98% of the original blue finish that has some touches of mild gray and silvering along some of the exposed edges and bearing surfaces. The straight-handled bolt retains its original armory bright finish that has dimmed and faded very slightly to gray in spots and there is an import mark present on the barrel ahead of the nosecap. The darkly finished stock and handguard exhibit only minor handling marks and surface blemishes in the original military oil finish throughout and the stock disk has been marked at “1” (excellent, serviceable); and at nominal bore diameter 6.50mm. An original cleaning rod is included, as are a removable cover on the threaded muzzle, original leather sling, and a Swedish-made sheet metal front sight hood. This is an excellent, little-used example of an early 20th century Swedish Mauser. FFL or C&R
