![]() The book cited is known to be so full of errors as to be nearly useless. Then: "successfully transformed by Carl Gustav Arsenal". There was no distiction between the converted rifles and the purpose built Husqvarna rifles. The 96-38 nominclature is American in origin. All M38 rifles were manufactured by Husqvarna". ![]() Then: "A number of M96 rifles were officially converted to M38 configuration, and are known as M96/38 rifles, to differentiate them from as-manufactured M38 rifles. The m/38 is not a carbine, its a rifle, a gevär. Then: "The M96 remained in production until 1938, when it was replaced by the M38 Carbine." The m/96 ceased production in 1924. And no mention at all of the 1895 Mauser Oberndorf carbine contract or the Swedish m/1894 carbines. No mention that production did not begin until 1898 for the m/96. Then: "The Model 1896 (M96) rifle (6,5 mm Gevär m/96) was adopted by Sweden on March 20, 1896,". The writer's only other reference is the Lee-Enfield and K98k Mauser. ![]() Then in the 2nd paragraph: "Both rifles were based on the Mauser action, but differed in being "cock-on-closing"."

That way, other editors with a bit more time might be able to make a start on correcting them. I may make an attempt to do this page but I just don't have the time at present. Aside from that its a very poorly written and unresearched page. As well, the name of the factory where these rifles were built is spelled out on the rifle itself: Gustaf not Gustav. This entire article is so full of errors it needs a complete rewrite. ![]() This article has been rated as C-Class on the quality assessment scale.
