    Your 96 Mauser

    I noticed that your rifle has the muzzle of the barrel threaded. This was done after 1955, for a Blank Firing Attachment. The Swedes used a wooden bullet in their blanks, and were not supposed to point the rifle at anyone under 100 Meters, but accidents did occur. The Blank Firing Attachment threaded onto the barrel, and shredded the wooden bullet upon firing.

    Also, there were eleven different rear target sights used on these rifles. You have a 1 in 11 chance of getting the right one if you buy one on E-Bay, so you might consider using your rifle with the open sights. It is possible that your rifle was once a Home Guard or FSR rifle, as these people were allowed to slightly modify their rifles, as long as it did not "harm" the rifle. An approved FSR gunsmith was allowed to put target sights on these rifles.
