1895 Swedish m/94 carbine -- made by Mauser Oberndorf

[jbayless]

Oops -- should have called it an M-94/14 (since it has the bayonet lug).

I just picked up this rifle today from a friend -- it was part of a collection he inherited from his dad. It's an M/94 Swede carbine, made by Mauser. Serial number 185, with all numbers matching. Bore is nice and bright and it has most of its blueing. Receiver blueing looks great . . . missing a bit on barrel bands and buttplate, etc. I paid $540 for it. Did I do OK?

It has a small "JV" on the right side of the receiver just above the wood; I just read that is the inspector mark on the library posting (great article).

The very end of the barrel, maybe 1/4 in. has no rifling, with the crown set inside the barrel. I guess that's the "extension" for import (just read about it on the library post about M/94s). Nothing on it looks butchered or sporterized.

I can't find an importer mark, but it looks like something might have been scuffed off right below the bayonet lug. Could be normal wear, but there's lettering there I cannot read.
