Swedish Mauser M1894/14 Carbine

Swedish Mauser M1894/14 Carbine

The Swedish Model 1894/14 Carbine represents an updated version of the m/1894 carbine originally adopted for cavalry and other mounted troops. Produced at Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori and by Mauser in Oberndorf, this refined bolt-action carbine was chambered for the 6.5×55 mm cartridge, noted for its excellent ballistic performance and moderate recoil. The 1914 modification added a bayonet lug and front band to allow mounting of the m/1914 knife bayonet, bringing the carbine in line with evolving support and specialty troop requirements. Compact, accurate, and finely finished, the M1894/14 exemplifies Sweden’s emphasis on precision engineering and craftsmanship in its early twentieth-century small arms development.  This example has nice strong blued finish throughout, bolt finished bright, receiver marked "Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori" with "1903" manufacture date.  Side has serial number "20620". Stock shows normal light service and storage wear and dings.  "Has range table on the buttstock, with the circular accountability number disc no longer present.  Complete with leather sling.  Bore is dark but has strong rifling.  Barrel has a ~8mm unrifled extension added to the muzzle (to meet US import requirements).
