CARL GUSTAF m96

Overview

This Swedish Mauser started life back in 1915 as a Model 1896. It has since been upgraded and is now a Swedish FSR M96 Target Rifle (FSR = Volunteer Shooters Organization). It is fitted with a Ingemarsson detachable pistol grip & Soderin diopter target sight. These rifles were used for competition shooting by a Swedish organization not unlike the Civilian Marksmanship program (CMP) here in the states. These rifles were used in the 1950's through the 1970's and were on loan from the Swedish Army.A small number of FSR M96 Target Rifles were imported into the U.S. for sale during the 1980's. They are highly regarded Target Rifles. This FSR M96 Target Rifle is in nice shape. It has lots of Swedish markings including matching part numbers and small Swedish crowns on most of the metal parts. The markings on the receiver are deep & crisp and the bore is strong & bright.
