I'm new to service rifle shooting and have just bought a 6.5x55mm M96 from 1913, Its a Carl Gustafs serial 3127** and was wondering if anyone could tell me some history about this, is it ever likely to have served?
The bayonet scabbard is labelled 10./I.27 No27, this may identify the company it was issued to?
Any info on the beautiful rifle most welcome! Have had a shoot and it seems remarkably accurate for such an old gun.
