The serial number appears as S.500 on the left side-rail of the receiver. The serial number is prefixed with S and runs S.1 to S.1161 and possibly a few more. This model deviates from the standard m/1894 carbine in several ways. All of these school carbines carry the receiver date of 1901. This carbine was manufactured for Swedish civilian schools for student training. Skolskjutningskarbin: So-called "school carbine". Several have shown up in the United States and one is known in the Netherlands. The modification involved a slot machined on the nose cap and a stud sleeve attached to the barrel. M/1894-67: This was an 1894 carbine modified to accept the m/1867 Yataghan blade saber bayonet. The second minor bayonet was the very long bladed m/1915 navy bayonet with the edge facing upwards. The most prevalent was the m/1914 long bayonet. There were two bayonets intended for the 94-14 carbine.
M/1894-14 carbines have a steel nose piece, not dissimilar to the No.1 Mk3 Lee-Enfield, with a protruding stud under the muzzle for the bayonet ring. Many other carbines have been lost due to conversion to m/63 target rifles. Some carbines were lost from regular use by conversion to sub-caliber targeting & practice devices for artillery pieces. Mauser produced 12,000 m/1894 carbines between 18 and Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori 115,000 m/1894 carbines between 18, giving a total of 127,000 m/1894 carbines. It may be surmised that carbines produced from the end of regular production in 1918 until 1932 numbered about 2,150. The highest number so far noted is 113,150 dated 1932. The m/94 carbines have a unique serial number sequence beginning with 1. The highest 1918 serial number noted is 111,002. Very limited numbers were later produced with receiver dates of 1929 and more so 1932. (The preparatory production development at Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori found a place in history by being the event that caused Carl Edvard Johansson to invent gauge blocks.) Swedish production continued sporadically until 1918.

Production in Sweden under license commenced in 1898. It is speculated that these were replacement receivers that were later given the same serial number as the replaced receivers, though this is not yet confirmed due to the extremely small number discovered so far.

Some of these spare receivers have been found built as complete m/1896 rifles with serial numbers falling into the regular m/1896 rifle ranges.

This series of carbines were all manufactured in 1895, and a very few spare receivers dated 1895 were received from Mauser Oberndorf's manufacturers Ludwig Loewe and DWM.
The m/1894 carbine was adopted in 1894 with the first 12,000 carbines being manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany.
