2 More Swedes

[TNBuckeye]

I haven’t shared anything in a while and I figure some of you might enjoy these photos of a couple somewhat recent additions, a pair of Swedish M38s. 

Both are all matching and function extremely well, which I suppose fits with their reputation. I recommend a Swedish Mauser to any surplus shooter/collector.

First the older...

...then the younger...it’s a 1942 Husqvarna. Can’t seem to load more photos for some reason!

I seem to recall the Husqvarna logo captures their legacy of gun making.

Pretty cool, thanks for posting!

Very nice Swede's. Mine is a 1905 M96 Gustafs and one of my most prized rifles.

I have one dated 1900. Has the same micro adjustable rear sight insert as the first one pictured. Adds about $100 to the value of the gun.

I saw a 1900 Oberndorf receiver M38 once in a local shop. Don’t recall if it had the micrometer sight on it but it was in great shape overall. Like an idiot, I didn’t buy it...

I believe mine to be a cutdown long rifle. It’s a Gustavs Stads Gevarsfaktori make. I have a blank firing device for the threads on the end but i picked up a muzzle cap to keep from boogering them up.

Those are pretty nice versions, I have two also, a 96 and a 38 from the twenties.  Extremely accurate, more so than I am myself.  They are also matching numbers, to extreme, wood and small parts and so on. Enjoy them, even has American manufactured rounds,  I think Remington had a rifle of the year in Swede for M700, I could be wrong.
