Considered by some to be the best Mauser made, the 6.5 x 55 Swede being the grandfather of the 6.5 Creed-more, the 6.5 x 55 Swede recoils like. .243 Winchester, but has the ballistics to reach 1,000 yards (not the carbines so much, although sights are marked for it), and is used to shoot moose and red stag throughout Europe still today.
M96, 29.5" barrel length, Carl Gustav 1920, 6.5 x 55, 6.52 bore, #3 bore condition, matching $1,100
The 1920 build M96 rifles are a nice collectible since there weren't very many made in 1920 versus the prior years (ref "Crown Jewels" page 148)

Now what is also known is that of the years posted above, the Swedes converted many of those M96's into M38 configuration (24.5") barrel length, and a straight bolt.
The Swedes 1938-1940 took 55,080 M96's to produce the M96/38
The Husqvarna M38 build built from 1942 onward, has a bent bolt, just like the M94 carbine
The Swedes did not specify which serial #'s they used, but the consensus from the gentlemen who wrote the best reference known to exist for Swedish Mauser's notes there are not many left of the 1920 built rifles, per "Crown Jewels" The Mauser in Swede, A century of Accuracy & Precision, by Dana Jones
"Is it still available" messages will be ignored and if you aren't legal to own, don't bother
I am open to trades, similar value, lower value + cash on your end, as I am gun rich, cash poor at the moment.
