There are no bad serial number ranges for Swedish Mausers. You action (rifle) was made in the year 1900. It is now 111 years old.
The German contract for the m/96 Mausers (long barrel) only went from 1899 to 1900.
They only made about 7% of the total run. They were made in the town of Oberndorf on the Neckar River. That is why there is an A/N by the company name.
In 1894-1895 they had started the whole thing for the Swedes by making the first 12,000 m/94 cavalry carbines. The rest being license built in Sweden.
When the Swedes replaced parts they serial numbered them to the rifle with the utmost care. They had huge stocks of new un-serialed parts.
The original stock from 1900 would have been walnut and had a 85 degree angle on the butt. Many stocks were replaced over the years with European Beechwood. The grain has little crescent moons in some places.
Thread-end barrel were introduced in the 1950s for use with a blank firing adapter.
Since they are the older small ring Mauser design you just have to make sure not to hot-load them. They are so accurate that hot-loading is not required anyway.
