• Description:

  SN 2429 is the original serial number on a 1900 dated Swedish rifle built on contract by Mauser Oberndorf, in 1938.  This rifle was cut down to create a Model 1938 short Mauser rifle, 6.5X55 caliber, for the Swedish military.  This rifle shows all the matching numbers and correct 44" total length.  The piece was deactivated by or for a former owner.  The deactivation was done by drilling the chamber and mounting a rod in place.  The bolt face was ground to not allow a cartridge to be chambered.  The mag was pinned to prevent loading cartridges.  A scarce Mauser built contract rifle for the military collector.  Not subject to license to purchase or own.
