Is this the long 96 Infantry rifle, or the shorter 96/38 Carbine?
Either way for that money jump on it. They are pleasant shooting, accurate, and very well built rifles. Personally I think that they are over all the best of all the Mauser type military rifles. |

The later the date, the more rare, and more money. |

96/38 carbine, turned down bolt. great wood, fantastic bore, after reading up on the ratings on the disk I'll have to examine the disk closer. Serial # says it was produced about '42. Yeah I'm going to purchase it

A `42 is a Husky, so prob not a cutdown 96. May have an ep`d number on bolt and should have the Husky tilted crown proofs. Matching numbers is better, but $300 is good for one in nice shape. May have a threaded barrel too. Some aftermarket thread protectors look like part of the barrel.
ETA... don't read too much into what the stock disk says, they have been known to be swapped around a good bit by people. Bores are usually always good. Swede`s seemed to take care of their stuff, plus no corrosive ammo was ever manufactured. |

Yeah, even if the stock disk is correct for the barrel the Swedes were extremely picky as far as bore condition. Even a 3 marked disk that is almost ready for replacement per their standards will still be a fine shooter, and will also still look good to the naked eye. |
