SWEDISH CARL GUSTAF Model 96/38 6.5mm Caliber C&R MAUSER Sporting Rifle
Early 20th CENTURY 1915 Dated Military/Sporting Rifle
Here we present a C&R Swedish Carl Gustaf Model 96/38 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle made circa 1915 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. This example has been converted into a more modern looking Sporter version.
"Swedish Mausers" are a family of bolt-action rifles based on an improved variant of Mauser's earlier Model 1893, but using the 6.5×55mm cartridge, and incorporating unique design elements as requested by Sweden. These are the m/94 (Model 1894) carbine, m/96 (Model 1896) long rifle, m/38 (Model 1938) short rifle and m/41 (Model 1941) sniper rifle. In 1898 production began at Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Swedish Mausers were manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser AG in Oberndorf a/N in Germany and in Sweden by Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag. All Swedish Mausers, whether built in Germany or Sweden, were fabricated using a Swedish-supplied high-grade tool steel alloyed with nickel, copper, and vanadium, a product then noted for its strength and corrosion resistance.
The overall condition is nearing fine. Excellent action. Bright bore. This example has a solid stock with less than average wear and is nicely refinished. Threaded barrel. Sharp markings. “1915” dated. The muzzle is import marked “KBI INC” and “SWEDEN”. Numbers match.
