Carl Gustafs Stads Gevarsfaktori 1917 value?

[Marlonmallard]

Hi I have a Carl Gustafs Stads Gevarsfaktori 1917 stamped HK 94917 with all numbers matching 917 also with a half dollar plate stamped I. 23 No 1133 I would like to know the value of this gun.

You'll have to provide clear pictures of critical parts of the rifle for a precise estimate.

In general the range of value might be $400+ if the condition is reasonable.

What all should I take pics of?

 

[Marlonmallard]

It will only let me post one pic at a time.

looks like a shortened 94 carbine, several hundred dollar the way it is. eastbank.

 

[Marlonmallard]

How do you tell if its been shortened?

 

[hso]

They usually look like this.

Neither of those is an M94 carbine. They were 17.5" barrels and,as far as I know, no M94s were still being made in 1917.

The OP's certainly looks to have been cut down, but from what exactly is hard to say, presumably an M96.

$ 300 - $500, in my opinion.

There are three basic models of Swedish Mausers:

The long M96 (pictured above)
The shorter M38
The very short carbine M94

It looks like you have an M94 stock based on the stock having the short finger grooves. Both the M96 and M38s have longer finger grooves on the stock.

This rifle may be a great shooter and no doubt the craftsmanship on these guns is very good but the day someone put a saw on that stock it killed the collector value.

A garden variety M96 in original condition is worth $300-400 in my experience.

The M94 carbine can be worth hundreds more if in original condition.

If it is in fact an M94 (not sure on the length, years, etc) you are missing the front of the stock, metal nose piece, etc.

As it sits now the value is a shooter, not a collector. Maybe around $200-250.

Here's an original configuration M94 carbine:



Some good info here...might want to measure you barrel...if it is 18" it's looks like an M94. If it's longer, it's probably a cutdown M96 or M38 with possibly an M94 stock (every non M94 I've ever seen has the longer finger grooves on the stock). The fact that it looks like there is some muzzle beyond the front sight makes me think it may be a cut down M38 or M96.

Here's some good info for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Mauser

Hope that helps.

It used to look like this, & the m94/14`s were built 1895 thru 1933......It`s just a m94/14 with the bayonet lug & the wood under it taken off.

I found this online if correct then my gun is the 94.

the M94 Carbine 17.7 inches but many of these were imported when the mininum rifle barrel length had to be 18 inches I beleive (like shotguns today) so they would actually "add" a piece to the end of the barrel to meet the restrictions which are not an issue today.

 

[Marlonmallard]

Just under 17" and 3/4

 

[Marlonmallard]

It looks like someone cut the rest of the wood off for some reason.

 

[Marlonmallard]

Thank you all for the info. I would like to know more about this gun. Like the half dollar stamp on it. What does it stand for?

 

[Cosmoline]

That's a gauge containing information about the rifle's issue

Unfortunately sporterized miltiary rifles are not worth nearly as much as the intact ones, esp. these days. Even $200 might be optimistic for a badly cut one. It really requires that you find someone looking for an inexpensive beater or the basis for more sportization. On the plus side, it might make a very nice mountain rifle. The twist on these is usually fast and suitable for large 6.5mm bullets. They are known for punching over their weight class so to speak.

Why anyone would do that to a beautiful old rifle is beyond me, take a $1000.00 dollar rifle & turn it into a $200.00 dollar rifle.................

Well if nothing else it will be a good hunting gun.

Oh my, that's a little beauty!

Mine is one of the Interarms 94 lot, Bishop stock, scope mounts drilled into the receiver. Such a shame but I suppose in 1958 they were just crappy old bolt guns from some country that never used them....
