Excellent, doesn't have the US barrel extension either. These were also issued to Navy depot guards with the longer M/15 bayonet and are still in use today with the Royal Palace Guard, who carry them on their back whilst mounted on horseback. They also carry them loaded and cocked, safety on.

is this rifle kind of rare in Australia? the LGS owner said first tie see it in person...
it is mismatch bolt, so seems like it is factory mod from 1896 or original 94 and later added the bayonet lug?
the action is 1916 GUSTAFS the barrel is quite heavy, the brass plate on rear stock both side got number ( different number)

I spent a long time looking for one until No1Mk3 got a mate of his to sell me one
Most expensive rifle I've bought as well.

I wouldn't say they were rare, but certainly uncommon. With a 1916 date it was made as a m/94-14 with the bayonet lug nose cap, and 90% of all m/94 were updated to the new standard so original carbines a very rare which has seen a number of owners of early dated examples find and retro-fit the original non-bayonet lug nose cap. As to the mis-matched bolt, no real issue as these carbines were repaired and restored by armourers over the years, a fully matching one is nice, but not essential. What is desirable is the lack of barrel extension, when these were 1st imported to the US the 1968 Gun Control Act in force then required these to have a 1/2" long tube hard soldered to the muzzle to bring the length to comply with the Act, which mine has (was tapped internally at some point for some reason i couldn't guess!!) but your carbine is either after the 1968 Act was repealed or it never went to the US in the 1st place, either way it is very desirable.

lucky I didn't pay big money for this
maybe due to the not ideal timber and mismatching bolt the ex owner charged me very reasonable price

thanks I really appreciate the info
this is the most pretty full wood carbine I reckon with right length and weight nice handlining as well...
