![]() ![]() Swedish Mausers were manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf a/N in Germany and in Sweden by Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag. All Swedish Mausers were chambered for the 6.5×55mm cartridge, and all Swedish-made actions were proof-tested with a single 6.5×55mm proof round developing approximately 455 MPa (65,992 psi) piezo pressure (55,000 CUP). In 1898 production began at Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna, Sweden. ![]() The Swedish Mausers are based on an improved variant of Mauser's earlier Model 1893, but using the 6.5×55mm cartridge (rather than the powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge, also called "8mm Mauser"), and incorporating unique design elements as requested by Sweden. These are the m/94 (Model 1894) carbine, m/96 (Model 1896) long rifle, m/38 (Model 1938) short rifle and m/41 (Model 1941) sniper rifle. ![]()
