The Swedish m/96 rifle, which civilians generally call the Swedish Mauser Model 1896 or just the "Swedish Mauser," was introduced two years after the famous 6.5x55 cartridge and became its most enduring home. The Swedish Mauser was not completely phased out of service until 1995, when the last M96, M38 and M41 rifles were officially removed from service, much like the WWII AG-42 semi-automatic rifle. The scope could be either the M41 German Ajack or the M42 Swedish AGA. The M41 (6,5 mm Prickskyttegevär m/41) was an M96 fitted with a telescopic sight. All M38 rifles were manufactured by Husqvarna Vapenfabrik, with production finally ending in 1944. The resulting rifle- the M38 was some 7 inches shorter than the M96 rifle, and had a bent-down bolt handle (as opposed to the straight bolt handle of most M96 rifles).Ī number of M96 rifles were officially converted to M38 configuration, and are known as M96/38 rifles, to differentiate them from as-manufactured M38 rifles. Contemporary examples such as the Mauser K98, Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III, and Mosin-Nagant M91/30 were all noticeably shorter than a standard 19th century infantry rifle, and with another World War on the way the Swedes felt it would be expedient to adopt a shorter rifle for use by reserve troops and the Navy.
The M38 Rifle (6,5 mm Gevär m/38) was adopted in 1938 as part of an overall worldwide military trend (which began just before World War I) towards service rifles that were shorter in overall length than a standard infantry rifle, but longer than a cavalry carbine. The M96 remained in production until 1938, when it was replaced by the M38 Carbine. The Swedes felt that their indigenous steel was far superior to all others, and when Mauser was contracted to manufacture M96 rifles in Germany, they were required to use Swedish steel in the manufacturing process. Production initially began at the Mauser Obendorf factory in Germany under contract, but soon after Carl Gustav in Sweden were manufacturing the rifles as well. The Model 1896 (M96) rifle (6,5 mm Gevär m/96) was adopted by Sweden on March 20, 1896, designed for use with the 6.5x55 round that had been adopted in 1893 by Sweden and Norway.
