Swedish Mauser Question

Member Posts: 1,058 ✭✭✭
I have a sporterized Swedish Mauser in the shop. It has been re-barreled to 308 and fitted with a Fajen snauble tipped stock and buttplate. The front receiver ring is marked on top: CARL GUSTAF S STADS over GEVAR S FAKTORI over 1914. It is missing the firing pin, firing pin spring, bolt sleeve, safety, and cocking piece. One major parts supplier lists in stock all the missing parts for a 96 Swedish Mauser. I need to know what model I have and if the 96 parts will fit this rifle. Thanks in advance for any input.

There is only one Model 96; all parts should fit, to the best of my knowledge.
Is the rifle I have a model 96??
Quite unlikely that it's anything other than a 96 or a 94 (The 94 is the same action except it's a carbine). I'd be a little nervous about a .308 on that action since the .308 is loaded to a bit higher pressure than the 6.5x55 that the 94/96 action was designed around.
Thanks for the input. This rifle has been in use for several years; the owner just lost the parts.
look up Hoosier gun works, they know everything about mausers including pics
