Can anyone help me find the origin of this old rifle?

February 12th, 2010 by eranio

Old fully stocked military rifle.Looks to be about 6.5 mm (guesstimate) bore. Flip up backsite to 2K meters, fixed front sight.Box magazine with straight bolt handle.Marked "CARL GUSTAFS STADS GEVARSFAKTORI 1915. Ser.# 355680. Sling swivels and cleaning rod.Barrel length is approx. 29".Action looks similar to Mausers I have seen before. Also has crown markings and an idealized letter symbol I can’t make out too good. Please help if you are knowledgable on old (WWI-era) military rifles.I’m guessing it’s Austro-Hungarian.
