c1913 SWEDISH CARL GUSTAF Model 96/38 6.5x55mm C&R MAUSER Bolt Action RIFLE
Great War Era Military/Infantry Rifle
Here we present a C&R Swedish Carl Gustaf Model 96/38 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle made circa 1913 in Eskilstuna, Sweden. This would have originally been a Model 96 with a total of 475,000 produced between 1896 and 1932. The Model 1896 rifle in 6.5×55mm was adopted in 1896 for infantry use, replacing the Model 1867–1889 Remington rolling block rifle. Swedish production started in 1898 at Carl Gustafs, but additional rifles were produced by Mauser during 1899 and 1900 because of delays in shipping additional production machinery from Germany to Sweden.
In 1938 it was decided to shorten the barrels on the Model 96 rifles to a handier length. Approximately 30,000 Model 96 rifles were converted to m/38 specifications at the Carl Gustafs arsenal, and in 1941 Husqvarna received a contract to manufacture 60,000 purpose-built Gevär m/38s. The main difference between the rebuilt and the new rifles was that the latter utilized a turned-down bolt handle and did not exhibit the fine finish of earlier rifles. At this time many thousands of Model 96 rifles were rebuilt with new barrels and stocks.
The Model 38 Rifle (6.5 mm Gevär m/38) was adopted in 1938 as part of an overall worldwide military trend (which began just before World War I) towards service rifles that were shorter in overall length than a standard infantry rifle, but longer than a cavalry carbine.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The numbers: the bolt parts have been force matched at some point and the rear sight assembly and rear barrel band have different numbers than the rest of the gun. Solid stock. Import marked.
