Description
This Swedish Mauser has matching numbers on the whole bolt, barrel & receiver. The floor plate & butt plate are not numbered & the barrel bands have been replaced in service. It was originally an M94 Carbine manufactured by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori in 1900 as seen stamped on the receiver which was arsenal converted as part of the trend toward shorter service rifles & became designated as the M94/38 as this was done in 1938.
All Swedish Mausers, whether built in Germany or Sweden, were fabricated using a Swedish-supplied high grade tool steel alloyed with nickel, copper & vanadium, a product then noted for its strength & corrosion resistance.
These rifles were used by all arms of the Swedish military during WW2, along with the Finish Army in their war against the USSR.
This rifle is fitted with the hard to find & valuable micrometer Västerås’ rear sight assisting accurate shooting at longer ranges.
It is in very good overall condition as can be seen in the photos. The wood is in better than average condition but does have some of the usual markings from service life. The metal work is clean & has a nice even blueing still present with the bolt still very clean & bright. Stock disc on these rifles provides details of the condition of the rifle according to the armourers. The muzzle will not accept a 6.5 projectile meaning the bore is still good & it is not ‘shot out’ but of course it will chamber & shoot any 6.5×55 round.
This is a very good example of these popular military surplus rifles which don’t have an awful recoil & are known for their accuracy.
As such they are very popular for military service rifle comps plus ammunition is still commercially available for reasonable prices.
Make your decision based on what you see, so please view the photos carefully as they form the main description & override all written information so ask for more if desired.
Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & these are sold on an as is basis.
As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting.
