c1919 FINNISH WINTER WAR M1896 6.5x55 Swede MAUSER RIFLE CARL GUSTAF C&R
With FINNISH ARMY “SA” Stamp
Here we present a C&R Swedish Carl Gustaf Model 1896 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle with the Finnish “SA” Property Mark, made circa 1919 in Eskilstuna, Sweden. A total of 475,000 of these fine rifles were made 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.
Finland made a purchase of about 80,000 of these Swedish rifles circa 1939 leading up to World War II and their Winter War with the Soviet Union. This one is “1919” dated. The Finnish boxed “SA” property marking is stamped on the left side of the receiver. These are still considered excellent rifles.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. The stock is solid throughout with an expected amount of wear. Numbers match on the receiver, floor plate, butt plate, barrel bands, bolt release, bolt handle, bolt sleeve, and safety, but differ on the rear sight, cleaning rod, and cocking piece. This example has a threaded muzzle with a protector cap. Sharp markings.
