1882 mauser

rcdis
Does any one have a picture of an 1882 Swedish 6.5 Mauser? I am trying to confirm if the rifle I have is an 1882 6.5 Swede. The local gunshop identified the rifle, but they could not find a picture of the 1882 6.5 swede, and could not be sure that the rifle was the 1882. So I am looking for pictures or detailed descriptions of the Swede.
Kenneth& Melissa posted some pictures of the rifle for me. See the post below. Hope some one can recognize the gun.

Thanks for your help.

    Sweden didn't adopt the Mauser rifle for their military forces until the early 1890's. The earliest dated carbines were made by Mauser in Germany, circa 1894. Prior to this the Swedish military , were armed with Remington Rolling Blocks, ( Single shot, black powder rifles ).

    Here is a link to Dr. Kerrigans excellent site, www.oldrifles.com which shows the Swedish military rifles.

    rufe-snow thanks for the info. The 1882 date was the one the gunsmith gave me. He checked all of his resources and could not find an exact picture of the rifle. He thought it was Swedish, it does not match ant picture of Swedish rifles I have found, but then it does not match any picture I have found. It does have an early mauser bolt action, but almost no markings.

    Thanks again, I will have to keep looking, it is just that I am running out of places to look.

    RCDIS,

    Make a couple digital images and post them. There are some folks here that a super sharp on older military arms, but if you can't see it and there is little to no other information, people can't help.

    If you don't own a digital camera I'm sure that someone in your family or a friend has one.

    If you don't have a way to post the pictures contact me via the email icon at the top of this reply and I'll give you my direct email so you can send me the image files as regular email attachments and I'll post them for you.

    Help us to help you.

    Never heard of anything like your describing...Wonder if maybe You're talking about a Model 1893 Carbine? It was based upon the Mannlicher System...Looked a lot like a Mauser.....and it has a Double Row...Detatchable Magazine....and No Straight Pull Bolt and Ring.....

    I am a victum of my local gunsmith, the above description was his. I do not have a clue what it is. I thought it was a arisaka 38, but it had the wrong markings. I have some pictures ready and have contacted contender man about emailing them to him so they can be posted on GB.

    Thanks

    Your rifle appears to be a "Type I". This was a rifle made in Italy in the late 1930's. It was made under contract for the Japanese Military. The cartridge it's chambered for is the 6.5 x 50mm Arisaka, standard Japanese military cartridge of that era.

    Thank you,rufe-snow and mag44pistol I do believe you have nailed it. I will task the gunsmith on his identification, especially since he charged me for his expertize.

    I agree of course. The pics aren't so clear but I got to thinking.... obviously not a mauser bolt. I could't see if it was a Mannlicher or Carcano bolt, though the two are somewhat similar in shape and design. No protruding magazine. Click goes the light, of course, one of the Italian made Jap rifles. And it certainly is. Nice guns, too.
