1916 Carl Gustaf Swedish M94 Carbine
My Dad recently gave me a Mauser my Grandfather purchased in the 1950s or 1960s. I don't know much about this carbine and was hoping to find out more by posting to this forum.
From what I can tell the numbers match for the items that remain. I'm unable to find any photos of a M94 similar to the one I have.
Please take a look through the attached photos and let me know what you thin about the condition and how it's been modified.

Thanks.
Very good looking, but not original

No surprise there, as they were never made like that! One of those things that makes you cry at first, and then face up to the fact that you just have to live with it as it is. An (as far as can be seen from here) 100% matching M94 carbine in excellent external condition (I can't see inside the barrel). Could bring up to 1000 here if it had not been altered! It has lost its nosecap and the open backsight, the wood has been shortened, and a Redfield sight has been added - which means that the stock has been cut out and the receiver has been drilled in order to mount the backsight. So you have a combination of irreversible alterations and as-good-as-unobtainable missing parts. It seems as if the person doing this work wanted to make it look like a carbine version of the CG63 competition rifle.
No real collector value, invalid for service rifle competitions - just a curiousity. :thdown:
But by heavens it looks good!:thup:
So enjoy it as it is, if (as I would expect) it is a good shooter. Is the barrel free-floating or does it bear on the fore-end? If it was mine, I would finish off the conversion job by fitting a ring foresight, thus making it look even more like a mini-CG63 - and a very effective little target shooter.
