Mauser 1894/14 6.5mm Carbine

Mauser 1894/14 6.5mm Carbine - Ser No:60893

Summary

This 1894/14 Carbine was manufactured at the Swedish Carl Gustafs Ordnance Factory rifle in 1915 and is not an upgraded 1896/96 model. The 1894/14 model was upgraded for the Coastal Artillery and Naval Forces, with its principle modification being the addition of a bayonet.

For a carbine that is 108 years old it is in amazing condition. The bore is bright, with sharp rifling and the throat shows no wear. Muzzle crown is perfect and unlike many rifles of this period, this carbine has matching numbers throughout, which include, foresight protector, front sling swivel, rear sight, magazine base plate, bolt release, bolt, bolt shroud and safety catch. The brass butt plate is marked with the unit ID K.P.R and the butt no 105. Woodwork is in excellent condition with a few minor transit marks and no fractures.

The carbine comes with the correct coastal artillery bayonet, but the number is not matching.

Receiver

Metal work is in very good condition, with no damage, and has 99% bluing. Receiver markings consist of the ordnance factory crest, serial number, proof marks, and inspectors stamps. There is minimal wear to the receiver and the bolt cycles smoothly without any excess movement. Trigger has not been adjusted.

Bolt

The bolt has been gauged for correct headspace and firing pin protrusion. Bolt body has the customary proof marks, with the bolt and bolt shroud having matching numbers with the receiver. Bolt face is unmarked.

Barrel

The barrel has five groove rifling and is sharp, bright with a good muzzle crown and throat.

Woodwork

The furniture is all walnut, is in good condition, with no fractures, but some minor transit marks.
