Offered here is a Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori Swedish Mauser Model 1901, chambered in 6.5x55mm Swedish. This is a sporterized bolt-action rifle that remains in good to very good condition overall, especially considering its age and service history.
The barrel has been professionally shortened to 18.6", and the upper handguard was removed during the sporter conversion. A modern Williams adjustable rear peep sight has been installed, providing improved accuracy over the original military sighting system.
Metal surfaces show a light, even patina with mild age-related finish wear, but no major corrosion or pitting is present. The bore is grey with distinct rifling, and the action cycles smoothly.
Serial number 11641, with the last three digits visibly matching on major components including:
-
Magazine plate
-
Bolt
-
Bolt handle
-
Bolt release
-
Rear of firing pin
These visible matching numbers confirm the rifle’s originality and add significant collector value.
The stock retains its original Swedish cartouche on the right side, with a clean, glossy finish and only minor handling marks. Length of pull measures approximately 13.5".
