the swedish mauser is not a gun for experementing with hot loads. The 6.5X55 is a cartridge that dramatically outperforms the numbers, and has been used successfully on elephant, something i have not personally done but i have used on deer and elk with great success. Sweden was very picky about the manufacture of these guns and sent their own steel to Germany for Oberndorf to use for the m94s made in germany. the first ones were Oberndorf mausers made in Germany, Huskvarna and Carl Gustaff (spelling?) are both swedish made i believe. Then there are three manufacturers of swedish mausers. last is the M38 short rifle with a barrel length of about 24' then there is the M96, which is the long rifle, with a barrel length of about 29' if i remember right. the M94 is the carbine, with a barrel length of just a little under 18', and a bent down bolt handle.
Sarco and Samco are internet dealers (to your FFL dealer) that usually have various models for sale.Ī little swedish mauser 101: first, there are three basic models (and some variations of those models, of course). a sporterized swede can go for a lot less, and be a good starting point if you want a sporter, but look closely at the work, because many of these were butchered when they sold for $20 or less. a nice Husky M38 can still be found around here for around $300. $500 is too much for a swedish mauser for now, unless it is an origional m94.
MAUSER SERIAL NUMBERS LOOKUP HOW TO
there is a thread here that somebody tells how to read the stock disc. you must remember that the rifle may have been used a lot since the rifle was inspected and the disc stamped, so this info may not be 100% accurate today. it has one section that gives barrel condition and another that gives bore diameter. it is true that the stock disc does have info about the barrel on it, but it is not a 1-10 thing. Sounds like you have cought the swedish mauser bug.
