6.5x55

Description

Mint & Matching This Swedish Mauser has matching numbers on the bolt, barrel, receiver, floor plate, barrel bands & butt plate & is an original M96 manufactured by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori in 1916 as seen stamped on the receiver which was not arsenal converted as part of the trend toward shorter service rifles. 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 Finnish Army in their war against the USSR. 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 & shows this to be of good grade, as expected. More info on this can be found here: http://dutchman.rebooty.com/disc.html This is a very good 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. Do your own research & you will know if this is for you. Please view the photos carefully & make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information. Ask for more if desired. We think we have described it accurately & correctly but do not claim to be infallible so if we have got anything wrong, it is unintentional & are happy for feedback from people who know more than we do. Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & this is 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. Call for shipping cost to your dealer.
