This Carbine has no number - only his name.

Carbine m/94-14 or M/94-14 (with bayonet lug)

Carbine m/94-14 is still in use
for parades.

Here is the resent Instruction Manual for the Army 2004.

The main difference between Carbine m/94 (M/94 for Navy) and m/94-14 is the bayonet lug. There were two different bayonets issued depending upon the branch.

1. The shorter bayonet called m/1914 and was basically used by Cavalry and horse riding troops.
2. The longer bayonet called m/1915 and was basically used by the Navy.

Here is another beautiful Rifle m/1896, made by Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB (HVA) as late as 1943
Note there is no muzzle thread and an original very different rear sight

The m/96 rifle used a short knife bayonet with a hollow steel handle, called the "bajonett m/96" - though it was actually not adopted until the summer of 1897.

Early rifles have stocks cut from walnut.
Rifles made during WW1 have stocks cut from birch, elm or mahogany.
Rifles manufactured later got stock cut from copper beech.

The m/96 rifle used a triangular front sight post and a rear leaf sight with a V-shaped notch. When folded down the rear sight is graduated from 300 to 600 metres, in 100 m steps. When flipped up it is graduated from 700 to 2000 metres. A rifleman never used the flipped up position on his own - it was only used for simultaneous fire at ranks of enemies. The width of the leaf at the axle-end is 11 millimetres.

In the 1940s the front sight was changed to a new m/41 rectangular post. The m/41 front sights are available in 9 different heights, from -1 to +3 millimetres in 0,5 millimetre increments.
At the same time the rear sight was altered to have a U-shaped notch. The Armourers had to remove the sight on every rifle and place it in a special jig, then file the sight notch to the new shape and refit the sight. The rifles were then sighted in - spot on at 300 metres using the pointed m/41 ammunition. The height of the correct front sight post was stamped on the left side of the front sight base, and a "T" on the right side (T for "Torped", which means a pointed boat-tailed bullet like the m/41).
After this modification the flipped up position was never used.

The Army's intention was to equip all m/96 rifles with a SM sight, calibrated for the m/41 "torped" ammunition. Trails were made with the "SM sikte F ram", but for some reason this minor modification was never carried out.

However there were several civilian SM sights, including a nickel-plated SM micrometer sight to be inserted in the ordinary sight ladder. This one is quite similar to the "SM sikte m/38" used on the type I m/38 rifle, only difference is markings on elevation knob. The insert micrometer sight for the m/96 rifle is graduated from 100 to 750 metres and is calibrated for civilian pointed ammunition.

There was a civilian production of the m/96 as well. The rifle organization "Frivilliga skytterörelsen" (FSR) ordered some 20000 m/96 rifles from Husqvarna in the beginning of the 1940s. (1940-1943 circa)
These rifles were made to the same specifications as the armys m/96 rifles and the production was partly financed by the Crown. They were sold to members of the "FSR" at a low cost (200 kronen) on the condition that the owner would sell his rifle back to the Army in case of total mobilization.
About 5000 of the FSR-rifles used a new m/43 leaf sight in 50 m intervals from 100 to 600 metres, and 100 m intervals from 600 to 800 metres. The sight ladder is stamped "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6" and "8" on the left side, and with index lines for 50m and a "7" on the right side.
About 12000 of the FSR-rifles used a sight called the AGJ-sight made by "A. G. Johanssons Metallfabrik AB" in Västerås. The AGJ sight is marked "SM sikte agj-ram" and looks very similar to the later "SM sikte m/55" used on the m/41 snipers rifle.

(Below Anti Tank Rifle m/42 Calibre 20 mm)

 Test rifle

The barrel was round at the rear end the diameter was 295 mm and at the front 210 mm. The front sight was a post or a ring sight surrounded by a 1cm long cylinder of steel with an inside diameter of 15mm. The Lyman dioptre was set from 100m to 1 000m. The striker lacked the thumb hold and was shorter for faster ignition. The stock was a straight English type like m/96 but only half way of the barrel. 

 fm/1923-36 Note stonger receiver without recess for thumb.

 This rifle was very much the same as fm/1923 but with a thumb hole stock. The receiver was stiffer and stronger because it lacked the recess for the thumb on the left side.

Ref;           
                SoldI Mtrl 1963.

The m/41 (B) was made out of m/96 rifles that were picked for
there accuracy.
About 5300 were made between 1941 and 1943.

Since some m/41 (B) have the turned down bolt handle of the m/94 carbine
- it could be that these weapons were made from scratch - or maybe they
just got new bolts.

It seems like the m/41 B was made both by modifying m/41 rifles
and by making them directly out of m/96 rifles. Because on
some m/41 B one can see, that the part of the scope mount with
the adjustment bolt, have been welded on to the part with the
dovetail.

The m/41 B is, by far, the most common today.

The m/41 (B) is no longer in service, the last units to use
this (excellent) weapon were "Hemvärnet" ("the Home Guard").
During 1995 the Home Guard had to return their m/41 (B)
sniper's rifles, they were replaced by scoped Ak4 assault rifles
(H&K G3).

Rifle G m/1938 with accessories. (Husqvarna)

Rifle m/38 used the same bayonet like Rifle m/96.

There are two types of the m/38 rifle:

Type one (1) m/38 rifles are made from old m/96 rifles
These are manufactured by Carl Gustaf or by Mauser.
They have the same straight bolt handle as the m/96 rifle.
They have the same rear sight as the m/96 rifle, but with
an inserted nickel-plated SM micrometer sight m/38.
*The m/38 SM sight goes from 250 to 600 metres, the elevation
         knob is stamped with "3", "4", "5" and "6".
         The sight is calibrated for the m/94 ogival (blunt) ammunition.

Type two (2) m/38 rifles are made as m/38 rifles
These are manufactured by Husqvarna
They could have either the same straight bolt handle as
the m/96 rifle, or the turned down bolt handle of
the m/94 carbine.
They both have leaf sights, either for the m/94 ogival (blunt)
bullet, or for the m/41 torped (pointed) bullet.
*The sight for the m/94 cartridge can be adjusted, in 50m
 steps, from 100 to 600 metres.
            This sight got a rectangular notch.
*The sight for the m/41 cartridge can be adjusted, in 50m
 steps, from 150 to 600 metres. The ladder is stamped "2",
          "3", "4", "5" and "6".
          This sight is marked with a "T", it got a U-shaped notch.
 

Type 1 m/38 rifles are sometimes referred to as "m/96-38", but there were never an official denotation for this type. The Swedish Army never bothered about the difference between the type 1 and type 2 m/38 rifles.
In the Army's spare part list for the m/38 rifle there is a note that one could use a spare bolt for the m/96 rifle just as well.

The reason why some type II m/38 rifles have straight bolt handles is not absolutely clear to me.
But it seams that when WW2 begun there were a stock of bolts for the m/96 rifle, and these were used for some of the m/38 rifles.

The m/38 used a different front sight than the m/96 rifle.
The m/38 front sight post for the m/38 rifle is 1,7 mm wide at the top, while the m/41 front sight post for the m/96 and m/41 rifles is 2,2 mm wide at the top. The m/38 front sight is one and a half millimetre higher than the m/41 front sight. Beside the height and the width of the post, the m/38 and m/41 front sights are interchangeable. A ±0 m/38 post corresponds to a +1,5 m/41 post.
The m/38 front sights are available in 12 different heights, from -2 to +0,75 millimetres in 0,25 millimetre increments.

The m/38 rifle should be sighted in to strike one mil above the aiming point. If it is sighted in for the pointed m/41 "torped" bullet, there should be a "T" stamped on the right side of the base of the front sight.

The 1938 rifle used the same m/96 bayonet as the original Mauser rifle from 1896.

I don't know if the m/38 rifle was ever used by the Cavalry - at least it was never intended to be used by mounted troops (if it was, it would surely have used the same kind of sling as the m/94 carbine).
It's my impression that the m/38 was only used by truck-drivers, light infantery (jägare) and the few mechanized units of the infantry and the cavalry, and by the Navy.

During WW2 Husqvarna Vapenfabrik produced rifles which were intended to be used by a resistance movement in Sweden in case of occupation by the Nazis. This is not a Military rifle. The mechanism used was the old standard Mauser m/96 mechanism similar to fm/23-36 and the calibre was 7.9x58 mm like the standard German Military ammunition. The m/96 mechanism is considered to be weak for the heavy German cartridge.

In order to strengthen and improve the receiver, it was produced without any groove for the thumb.

Note the wall of the receiver has no grove for the thumb

Rifle CG63

The CG 63 were built by Carl Gustaf, from surplus m/94 carbines and m/96 rifles. It featured a new free-floating heavy barrel, a new pistol-grip stock and a micrometer aperture sight. The cocking piece was modified to reduce mass and stroke, the trigger was ribbed, the trigger guard was serrated and on m/94 actions the handle was straighted out. The sights could be of diferent designs; Elit, Söderin, GF, Fäldt, Pramm, Hellqvist, ....

Data for the CG 63

Weight 4,5 - 4,7 kg

Length 1245 mm

Length of stock 314 mm

Barrel length 740 mm

Barrel twist 220 mm

Barrel diameter 19 mm

The Swedish Army used this rifle as the Gevär 6. The only difference was that Gevär 6 had a short clening rod beneath the barrel.

CG73

1973 came an improved stock for CG 63 which was called CG 73

FSR CG80

The later CG 80 uses the same Mauser action, but got a better stock and an even havier barrel.
