“The Joint Commission worked assiduously to find a new rifle. Extensive testing was conducted of the then-current military rifles, including Mauser, Krag-Jorgensen, Lee, Mannlicher, Kropatschek, Marga, and Schmidt Rubin. In the book, The Swedish Mauser Rifles by Steve Kehaya and Joe Poyer, they expand on really how fast the process of finding a new military rifle was back then. While this was happening the common infantry rifle was the Jarmin and the Rolling Block rifles which were being converted to the new Krag-Jorgensen cartridge. Then, jumping to around 1889, Sweden and Norway decided to come up with a new and standardized infantry rifle and cartridge. The initial part of the M96 Swedish Mauser’s story really begins with the arms race to smokeless powder cartridges and small arms after the introduction of the 1886 Lebel rifle and its “small bore” (small in comparison to the common 11mm or 12mm bores of the time) cartridge. This is why the wood may not match great in some light or an explanation of the presence of a thread protector, sight hood, and reproduction stock disc. I had purchased it as a barreled action and brought it back to its former glory. Note: The rifle pictured is my personal M96 Swedish Mauser. Understanding the firearms of old, their importance, and their development which lead to many of the arms we now cherish today is incredibly fascinating and we hope you enjoy what we have to share, too! Hopefully along the way you can garner a greater appreciation for older firearms like we do, and simultaneously you can teach us things as well through sharing your own expertise and thoughts in the Comments.
