Carl Gustav Model 1896 Rifle 6.5x55 Swedish Made in 1913
Description: Next to the Mauser Model 1898, the Model of 1896 is one of the most well-known Mauser Models. Designed and ordered for Sweden, the Model of 1896 was based on previous Mauser models, but incorporating improvements suggested by the Swedish. All Swedish Mausers, whether built in Sweden or at the Mauser factory in Oberndorf, Germany, were fabricated using Swedish-supplied vanadium, nickel, and copper. The rifles are known for both their strength and their resistance to corrosion. All are chambered for the excellent 6.5x55 Swedish round. Each rifle was test proofed with this round loaded to 66,000 psi (c. 55,000 CUP), proving the rifle’s design is indeed strong. The 6.5 Swed is one of the few European cartridges to gain a foothold in the United States, and today enjoys a large following. It has become extremely popular for deer hunting and is also at home in target shooting competitions. Most American and European ammo manufacturers produce 6.5 Swedish ammunition. The Model of 1896 features a cock-on-closing action just as older Mauser models did. One of the notable things about the Swedish Mauser m/1896 is its length, the rifle being nearly 50 inches in length. Needless to say, carbine versions were also made. Made in 1913, the bluing on this example is mostly intact except for a few spots near the end of the barrel. Unfortunately, four parts do not match the serial number of the rifle: the floor plate, the bayonet stud, the rear sight, and the bolt release. The cleaning rod bears the number 168. There are Century Import markings on the right side of the barrel near the muzzle. The wood exhibits some wear, mainly small dings, and there is one scrape visible on the right side. The surface of the bolt handle has some very fine pitting which could probably be corrected with Flitz metal polishing compound. The bore is in excellent shape, as would be expected of a Swedish rifle. The threading at the muzzle is a bit dirty but in good shape. The back of the butt plate and cocking knob exhibit surface pitting. The sling clasp attached to the butt swivel has some rust on it.
