![]() (The preparatory production development at Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori found a place in history by being the event that caused Carl Edvard Johansson to invent gauge blocks.) Swedish production continued sporadically until 1918. Production in Sweden under license commenced in 1898. It is speculated that these were replacement receivers that were later given the same serial number as the replaced receivers, though this is not yet confirmed due to the extremely small number discovered so far. Some of these spare receivers have been found built as complete m/1896 rifles with serial numbers falling into the regular m/1896 rifle ranges. ![]() This series of carbines were all manufactured in 1895, and a very few spare receivers dated 1895 were received from Mauser Oberndorf's manufacturers " Ludwig Loewe & Company". The m/1894 carbine with an action similar to the Spanish M1893 was adopted in 1894 with the first 12,000 carbines being manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany. ![]() Extant examples of these Swedish test firearms are chambered in 8×58mmR Danish Krag, adopted by Sweden in 1889, as well as 6.5. These had a single-stack magazine but featured a lot of improvements described in Mauser Model 1893#Development, Spain procured small parties of them for troop trials both in 7.65 and new 7 mm cartridges. Submitted for Swedish trials were the M/1892 rifle and carbine based on elements of the m/1889 Belgian, m/1890 Turkish, and m/1891 Argentine Mauser rifles. M/1892 Rifle and Carbine Mauser M1892 long rifle in 8×58mmR Danish Krag, the service rifle caliber in Sweden at the time For easier loading a crescent shaped thumb hole cutout was introduced at the left rear of the receiver top.These rifles are characterized by being very precise due to their cartridge ( 6.5x55) they are superior in range and precision to the standard infantry rifles of the time. After loading, the empty clip is ejected when the bolt is closed. Each stripper clip can hold five rounds to fill the magazine and is inserted into clip guides machined into the rear receiver bridge. The internal magazine can be loaded with single 6.5×55mm rounds by pushing the cartridges into the receiver top opening or via stripper clips. The forward receiver ring diameter where the two forward locking lugs achieved lockup is 33 millimetres (1.30 in). These rifles, like other pre-M 98 system Mauser rifles, lack the third safety locking lug at the rear of the bolt and feature "cock-on-closing" (similar to the contemporary Lee–Enfield rifle) instead of the "cock-on-opening" style found on the German Gewehr 98 and most subsequent bolt-action rifles. All Swedish Mausers, whether built in Germany or Sweden, were fabricated using a Swedish-supplied high grade tool steel alloyed with nickel, copper, and vanadium, a product then noted for its strength and corrosion resistance. Swedish Mausers were manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser AG in Oberndorf a/N in Germany and in Sweden by Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag. ![]() Production began in 1898 at Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna, Sweden.Īll Swedish Mausers other than trials rifles were chambered for the 6.5×55mm Swedish cartridge, and all Swedish-made actions were proof-tested with a single 6.5×55mm proof round developing approximately 455 MPa (65,992 psi) piezo pressure (55,000 CUP). These are the m/94 (Model 1894) carbine, m/96 (Model 1896) long rifle, m/38 (Model 1938) short rifle and m/41 (Model 1941) sniper rifle. "Swedish Mausers" are a family of bolt-action rifles based on an improved variant of Mauser's earlier Model 1893, but using the 6.5×55mm Swedish cartridge, and incorporating unique design elements as requested by Sweden. ![]() Square post front, U notch rear iron sights or telescopic sight M/38 short rifle, m/41 sniper rifle, m/94 carbine. ![]()
