Swedish Mauser Model 1896 (Gevär m/96), manufactured in 1921 by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori (Eskilstuna). Interwar Swedish Army service rifle, built to high peacetime standards on the proven Mauser controlled-feed action.  Look at the fire blued parts!

Receiver marked with Swedish crown/CG monogram over “CARL GUSTAFS STADS / GEVARSFAKTORI / 1921,” serial number on the left wall, and correct factory inspector and crown acceptance stamps. Original Swedish hardwood stock (typically beech by this date) with proper inspection cartouches and the usual brass unit/bore-condition disc. Straight-handle bolt (cock-on-closing), 29-inch barrel, 5-round internal magazine. Strong metal, solid stock, and an excellent bore. Outstanding condition for a 100+ year-old military rifle.

Caliber: 6.5×55 Swedish
Condition: Excellent (see photos)

Widely regarded for exceptional accuracy, smooth action, and durability thanks to high-quality Swedish steel and tight peacetime manufacturing. Neutral Swedish service history means many examples avoided heavy combat wear. Excellent example for a collector or shooter.
