Hey everyone,

Just wondering what the going rate for a full wood, all matching swede 94 is. Looks all original, all intact. Made 1901 Carl gustav I believe. Exterior looks mint. Haven’t seen. The bore.

I know it’s hard to give an exact value based on this description, but in general

I may have a second look at it, anything I should look for specifically to assess value or tell of it’s a clone or been refinished etc. Looks like it has the issued sling aswell

If it is "all matching", "original" and words like that, well worth to get the book "Crown Jewels" to know what that all is supposed to mean on those rifles. As I discovered - many of the fore-arm metal parts are NOT the same as Swede M96 or M38, and is also whether the one that you look at has or has not the 1914 mod that was done by CG to accept a bayonet - which the original unaltered ones will not. I suspect, but do not know, that that small difference will be hundreds of dollars price difference, to some.
 
See picture below - that long part is the bayonet modification that was added by CG Arsenal in 1914. It is marked with a vertical Swede stamp and number "942" - so goes on a m94 carbine with serial number that ends in those three numbers. Also in the picture is a sling loop band that holds the hand guard to the fore-arm wood - note that the bottom edge is milled out to accept the lip from the bayonet mount assembly. Is not matching - the band has vertical Swede crown, but numbers "101" which means it is from a different rifle with serial number that ends like that. So far as I can tell, the carbine's original band was milled out to accept the bayonet mount assembly, then all the original long springs, screw, etc. from original m94 was kept in place - then this assembly plus a plate and another screw was added in 1914. I believe the front sight protector "ears" - with the number stamp - is the original from the rifle being converted.

cote-b, go onto the internet and look at a whole bunch of pictures that are on several sites.

This may prove difficult if you're doing all of your online searches with a phone or small tablet.

There is a ton of information out there on these lovely, handy rifles.

When the Swede Mausers first started coming into North America, the M94 Carbines were the first to be released by Scandinavian governments.

Even then, they weren't cheap. US$65 for a surplus rifle at a time when you could buy a Garand or FN FAL for the same price.

Now, if all original and in the shape you describe, the values are proportionately the same for a retail price. $2500-$3000

The parts shown by Potashminer are available in NOS condition from a few distributors and anyone that's handy with wood or purchases a repro stock, which are also available, can easily put one together that would be very difficult to detect, if you don't know what you're looking for.

They come with and without bayo lugs.

They were also made up in at least two different cartridge chamberings. 6.5x55 and 7x57

With those two cartridges, it can be quite difficult to discern calibre by looking at the muzzle or from a picture, especially a small pic on a phone.

The 7x57 versions are by far the least common and IMHO every bit as desireable.

It's becoming more common. People are looking at postage stamp images on their phones and expect others to fill in the blanks. It seems they couldn't be bothered to look at the images on a computer screen.
