Swedish M96 1906 Carl Gustafs Production Mauser 6.5×55 Swedish 29″ Excellent condition

We are pleased to offer a handsome and historically significant Swedish Mauser: a 1906-dated M96 rifle manufactured by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori, presented in excellent overall condition.

The M96 is widely celebrated for its superb craftsmanship, butter-smooth bolt action, and the legendary accuracy of the 6.5×55mm cartridge. This 1906 example represents the early production era of the model and has been well cared for over its long life. The metal retains a strong, original finish with crisp Carl Gustafs markings, the walnut stock is solid and attractive, and the bore is bright with sharp rifling.

As is common with rifles that saw decades of service and arsenal maintenance, this example remains in all-matching condition with the exception of the rear sight and the cocking piece. These minor substitutions are typical for a rifle of this age and do not detract from its functionality or its appeal as an honest, serviceable example. The receiver, barrel, bolt body, and stock—the core components—retain their matching numbers, confirming the rifle’s fundamental integrity.

For the collector seeking a representative and well-preserved example of the classic Swedish Mauser—or the shooter looking for a reliable and historically rich rifle—this 1906 Carl Gustafs M96 offers excellent value. It combines early production provenance, very good condition, and the honest character of a rifle that served with distinction, ready for display or the range.
