Oh Boy !!! I’ve always wanted a Swedish Mauser and Just picked one up. I wished I would have got one years ago when they were $130.00 . Well I got a good one. It’s a Carl Gustav Sweed Mauser in very good condition with all matching serial numbered parts. Bluing is very nice and very few dents in the wood. I don’t think this one ever saw any action. It was made in 1908. Cabelas In Ft Worth had 10 of them and I kept passing on them at the $599.00 price tag. The fine Gun Room manager saw me looking at them again and we started talking about them. They were down to just 3 guns left and he said he would knock off $100.00 for me. Well I took up his offer and now I have a Beautiful Mauser at the house. Wish I could post pics but it’s to difficult on this site for me. I’d like to hear some good stories of your Sweed Mauser. Have a good day.

I picked up my Gustav Mauser last year in Austin at McBride's, excellent condition just missing the thread protector, still haven't shot it, have 2 boxes of ammo waiting...

The old guataf mousers are really good rifles. Enjoy.

Welcome to the Club THETEXAN van THF. Swedish mausers are my favorite rifles and 6.5x55 is my favorite cartridge. I have so many swedish mausers, I can't remember exactly how many I have. Two of my model 96s have 1898 dates. I have a CG63 Target rifle that was made on an antique Model 94 receiver. And the pride of my collection a M41B Sniper rifle that was hand picked from the importer by dealer Dennis Kroh. I bought several M96 Target rifles with only the diopter sights removed way back when Century arms sold them for something like a 4 fer $100 deal as ufixems. I sometimes hunt with the Sniper rifle, but usually am using a Remington 700 classic in 6.5x55. You did good, that is a good buy at today's prices. And the ammo for it is real affordable compared to the cost of a lot of other old military cartridges. My experience is that the Swedish Mausers, Swiss Shmidt Rubins, and Finn M39 Mosin Nagants are three of the most accurate Military C&Rs out there. None are as sexy looking as those Swedes though.

Your Swede should have a bore disc. Here is how to read it.

Wow !!! That’s so Awesome. I’m super excited to finally have one. Your rifle there is Gorgeous.

Thanks !

Nice score. Have always wanted a 6.5 Swede.

Thanks.

Love my three Swedes! Ruger M77 Mk. II, customized M96 (not just bubba'ed, but done right), and my new favorite: CZ 550FS Mannlicher stocked.

The Ruger likes 120 grain projectiles and the other two like 140s. Your's will probably like 140s+.

I have one and my goal is to shoot a hog with it. Never even seen a hog when I was sitting with it. Great firearms.
