Description:
Serial #374788, 6.5mm Swedish, 29 1/2” barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a 1916 dated, Carl Gustafs-made rifle that retains 95-97% of the original blue finish on the metal with mild fading along the exposed edges as well as on the muzzle and triggerguard/floorplate assembly. The bolt numbers are all matching, but mixed numbers are present on the trigger guard and stock furniture. The original combat rear sight has been removed and a Swedish Söderin micrometer diopter target sight has been installed on the receiver bridge, while the muzzle-end has been fitted with a hooded aperture front sight, and a small, unobtrusive import stamp is present on the underside of the barrel. The stock is in fine overall condition with only some minor handling marks ad blemishes scattered about the varnish finish (heaviest around the butt). The brass stock disk is unmarked and a mismatched cleaning rod is included. This is a fine-excellent example of an M/96 Target Rifle that would make a great addition to one's collection. {Ref. “Crown Jewels – The Mauser in Sweden” by Dana Jones; 2003} FFL or C&R
