Description
This beautiful Swedish Mauser has matching numbers on the bolt, barrel, receiver, barrel bands, floor plate. It is in original M96 configuration & was manufactured in Sweden by Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori in 1906 as seen stamped on the receiver with crest intact. 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 Finns.
It is in excellent condition throughout as can be seen in the photos. The stock disc on these rifles provides details of the condition of the rifle according to the armourers. The disc on this rifle shows the bore is exactly correct at 6.46, as it left the factory. This is a great example of these popular military surplus rifles which are known for their accuracy & as such are very popular for military service rifle comps plus ammunition is still commercially available for reasonable prices.
Comes complete with correct bayonet which is also in outstanding unmolested condition.
Please view all of the photos carefully as they form the main description & override all others so feel free to ask for more as we have taken plenty.
