Item No.:	9886	Price :	SOLD
Item :	FINE SWEDISH MODEL 1894 CARBINE W/ SLING, 6.5X55MM

Description :

Here is an original Swedish Model 1894 Carbine manufactured by Carl Gustafs in 1918 and chambered for the 6.5x55mm cartridge. About 113,000 carbines were produced between 1898 and 1918. This is an unmodified carbine which does not accept a bayonet. Many of these were modified with a new nosecap that allowed a bayonet to be mounted on the carbine. This gun is in fine condition with about 80% of its factory blued finish remaining. There is some finish wear on the trigger guard, magazine floor plate, and butt plate. The remaining blue of the trigger guard and floor plate is turning a smooth brown. The bolt remains bright. The bolt and safety assembly do not match. The bolt appears to be numbered "858" and the receiver is "868". The carbine has excellent mechanics and a very fine bore. The stock is in very good condition with a scattering of small dings and scratches from use. There is a very old chip just ahead of the bolt handle. Included is an original leather sling in very good condition. Unmodified M1894 carbines are scarce and desirable. Stock no. 28144
