The Swedish made some excellent Mausers and the 6.5X55mm is a formidable cartridge. In buying any used firearm and in particular an older one, take a good look at the throat and also the rest of the bore.

I went back to do a little research on it and after review, it has matching numbers, it is a Carl Gustav 1910, has the data disc on the stock.....and I'm still trying to convince the wife that we need it for the zombie apocalypse

Most Swedish mausers are match numbered (they never went to war). The M-96 Gustafs rifles are selling from $300.00 to $350.00. The Oberndorf 96s about $100.00 more. They are primarily chambered for the 6.5X55 Swede. Ive owned both the 96 rifles and M-94 Carbines. Both are sweet shooters. Fabrique de Nationale of Herstal, Belgium also made a small contract amount of M-96 one of these price wise is a whole different story. If your wife does relent and thinks its a good idea to have one, take some good clear pictures and post them on: http://forums.gunboards.com/ under the appropriate category.
This site is a wealth of information for WWI & WWII weaponry, including handguns.
There are quite a few experts that can tell you anything about a particular weapon that you would want to know.

Belgian produced version of the Mauser 98 was a 1935 model in 7mm Mauser aka 7x57.
|
Actually, the Model 1935 short rifle which was quite identifieable by the stylized L and Crown (for Leopold King of the Belgians) was produced in the 7.65X53 cartridge. This cartridge was also used in the Argentine Modelo 1909. Probably one of the smoothest of all the Mauser Actions.

She bought you a straight razor. She's trying to kill you (and with your own hands). You don't need it for zombies.

but I'm (mostly ) comfortable shooting the 95
|
The 93 & 95 line of Mausers cock on the "go in", whereas the Mod 98 cocks when the bolt handle is lifted. The 93&95s are both nice shooters when they are kept within specs and cartridge size. Originally chambered for the 7X 57 Round, some of these weapons were converted to 7.62 NATO. THESE are the ones to be avoided. If you have any desire to collect these types of weapons, here is some information that you should retain.
