Description:
SWEDISH Contract MAUSER Model 1896/38 Bolt Action 6.5mm INFANTRY Rifle C&R
German Made TURN OF THE CENTURY Military Rifle
Here we present a C&R Swedish Contract Waffenfabrik Mauser Model 1896/38 Bolt Action Rifle made circa 1900 in Oberndorf, Germany, with a production run between 1899 and 1900. 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.
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. 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 good. Strong action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. This example sports a solid stock. Sharp markings. “1900” dated barrel. Numbers match. “CAI” import marked. The trigger guard is missing a screw, but remains stable.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
