I own 2 M96 Swedish Mausers. One is an 1899 Long rifle with no threads on the end of the barrel and the other is a 1910 short rifle that is threaded on the end of the barrel. Both are Carl Gustafs Swedes 6.5x55. I also like and own a 1943 Husqvarna 6.5x55 Swede. This Husky as they are sometimes called is threaded and does have a flash hider on it. You can find this rifle on Gunbroker. Good shape and bad shape. Ken

Nope. But my buddy has one in 243 that is unfired with a new VX2 on it. Doubt he'll ever use it. I had it at my house for a while, pretty nice gun...2MG

Your buddy has a M96 in .243?? How can that be, they were never made that way. Was it custiomized?
Dealers- are you in Canada or the states?

NO, the original factory rifles DO NOT. The bolt sticks straight out to the right, and flips straight up when cycled. That is why the bolt is bent/cut off re-welded when one of the is sporterized, for scope use.
The only guns I know of that have a straight bolt pull-back (and I'm no expert) are the Modern-day Blazer brand of rifle, and the old Canadian-made Ross. 303 Military rifles.

If you go on www.gunsamerica.com and go to the mauser category, on page 1 you will see the rifle I was thinking of. It is the newer version model 96 with straight pull bolt. Sorry, my bad---2MG

I have one in 25-06. Worked up one load, it shoots it fine. Look here http://www.thadscott.com/ under bolt actions, he has several.

Got one in 270... tack driver. Bit of a safe queen with nice wood, too pretty to take out. The straight pull Mauser 96 was made in 1996, and 1997 only, I think. Would love to find one in 243 to go with my 270. Here's a pic of one in 308 from thadscott's.. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thadscott.com/18342.jpg)

You can find this rifle on Gunbroker. Good shape and bad shape. Ken The purpose of the threaded barrel was for a wooden bullet shredding device. The Swedish military used wooden bullets for training. As far as I know, flash hiders were not original to Swedish military rifles. All M96s were straight bolt with the exception of sniper models. The m38 or short rifle had turned down bolt handles. These were the Husqvarna made rifles. M38s with straight bolt handles were shortened M96s, sometimes called M96/38

You can get a mauser 98 with a "straight" bolt. It's called a 24/47, they go for about $100 bucks and are originally chambered in 8x57.
if interested
century arms, aim and some others have them.
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

I am confused here. Are we talking about straight pull bolt rifles or straight bolt handle rifles?

BCR, I thought he was asking about the M96 straight bolt Swede, thats why I talked about them. Bucktales, I know about the shredding wood, but didn't want to get into to much detail if he was looking for a M96. ken

Thge M96 SWEDISH mauser I speak of has not been made for decades, so the above is a bird of a different feather. The M( I speak of is a MILITARY firearm, made by the swedes, and looks NOTHING like the phot above. Insights?

Unfortunately, Chilli57x hasn't returned after his first post to clear this up. I also have a rifle like the one Calhoun pictured (in 30-06) and it is indeed a straight pull bolt in the style of a Blaser. It was made by Oberndorf Mauser during the time period Calhoun mentioned and to add to the confusion between this modern rifle and the old Swede M96 of over a century ago, it's designated the Mauser M96 (1996). These photos are NOT of my rifle, otherwise it's identical: ![[Linked Image]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/WMacD/rifles/10223999.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/WMacD/rifles/10223929.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y206/WMacD/rifles/aL292-34a.jpg)

Now this new company has come in and REALLY F^&KED me up.!! LOL.

I'm sure he was talking about the old model horizontal bolt. When he said "straight bolt 96" I was thinking "straight pull bolt 96".---2MG
