- Collectors BEWARE! I have a beautiful M94/14 Swedish Mauser Carbine. This gun should be really collectible as all serial numbers match and it is in wonderful condition. However, this gun was imported sometime in the 1950s-60s by a company called Interarmco (otherwise known ast Interarms Company). They were a huge arms dealer. What they did is grind off the manufactured date on the receiver and then engraved "G33/50" which is a made up designation, as there is no such model! Not sure why they did this, unless they were trying to rebrand to sell more? They also removed the cool disc on the stock which originally had the unit number of the Swedish military that the gun was assigned too. The faux disc simply states that it is a Swedish gun in 6.5 caliber. These two modifications allowed Interarmco to avoid having to put an import mark on the gun. Very creative, but rather sneaky! Anyway, this gun shoots awesome and I love it, but I paid way too much. Live and Learn!
I would say that it's still collectible. It's niche and shows the lifecycle of the rifle through it's history. If you could get ahold of an un-altered M94/14, it would make for a great comparison/conversation starter in my opinion.
Great idea and thanks for the support!
Ya, I noticed on GB there were a couple of these. I didn’t understand what they were. I have bought a true Calvary rifle , which I adore, but you are correct. Those add marked ones can be deceiving. I now have an M41b, M96, the M94 Calvary. Looking for a M36 and maybe a target rifle, if I come across one which is a True target, not just one someone added period sights to.
I agree 100%
Still a nice rifle ! Period I own three a 41 and two 96 .s
Lmfao knew it was a G33 from the thumbnail
Well, you have one. I don't. Cool rifle.
So interesting!!!
Cool gun, sorry but it's a nice gun.
I do agree and someone else pointed out that it still has a cool story with the modification.
I'd just keep it and run it, even for hunting. It will make a fine deer hunting carbine and even for picking off woodchucks. I'd not fret too hard over it. My M-94 Carbine was sporterized. Do I fret over it? Not one bit.
THANKS! Great perspective
GREAT RIFLE EVERYTHING NICE=PREMIUM $$$$
Thanks, she is a beauty, I just wish nobody had messed with the markings.
It is of good quality, yes they should have not altered the date made and renamed it interarms. But it functions the same as an unaltered one. There are a limited number of these carbines and they will increase in value as it is not drilled and otherwise original. clean it and keep it in good condition. I think that they altered these guns due to foolish US regulations which again make "I am from the government and I am here to help" a joke.
Interarms has a history of horrible ideas.
