Have all the parts on order to put together a 300blk upper, while ordering stuff I saw that PSA had their phosphate 10.5in 5.56 complete upper for $200, BCG and CH included. Figure I might as well get that too haha.
Got it Thursday and threw a DD rear sight on it just to keep it as simple as can be. Shoots pretty good and perfect size for my kids when they want to go shooting. Might be one of my favorite plinkers now.

It's SB PDW brace. https://www.sb-tactical.com/product/sbpdw/What stock is that? It looks way better than my kak blade
Ordered dies and bullets to reload for my Swede M94/14 carbine. A friend gave me 75 pieces of 6.5x55 brass too!
I have not researched this yet, but can that shoot normal surplus Swedish 6.5????
Yes it can. That is why it has a range plate glued on to show the different impact point of the later pointed bullet load vs the older round nose load that the sights were regulated for.
Also came across a nice photo of the Swedish 1894 carbine rifle with Bayonet attached.. reminds me a little of how those Berthier carbines look with those French long sword bayonets on them..
That is a pic of the Swedish 1st Cavalry Regiment in Stockholm that still carries the 1894 carbine. Note the cavalry boots and spurs. The ID disc on my carbine shows it came from that regiment. Why some carbines were surplussed when a unit still uses them, I don't know, unless they didn't need as many for their ceremonies. I found another pic which shows the palm side of their white gloves rather discolored from handling the carbines.
Well I would guess pure numbers.. At one time they had 10s of thousands of Cavalry troops Now they only need a couple of 100 at best.. And those guns may not even be fireable.. They are just lookers...

I could not verify this, as I only have a pic of the manual cover, but supposedly inside this 2004 manual it says the M94/14 carbines are used for parades. Also found that in 2016 it was decided that the Royal Guards (varies between 50 and 60 soldiers at any given time) would use the carbines instead of the issue AK5 to avoid "repetitive strain injury".
Per the Swedish Military web site, "The Royal Guards and the Parade of Guards are amongst the most popular visitor attractions in Stockholm. An estimated 800,000 people visit the outer palace courtyard each year to watch ceremonies such as the Changing of the Guard and other state occasions – a number that continues to rise.
Changing of the Guard takes place every day of the year. However, the ceremonial march through central Stockholm, accompanied by a full military band, is usually only possible from May to August."
