[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1869120, member: 5655"] Had some questions about Swedes and I am glad to answer any of them as best I can. Scandinavian countries took their firearms very seriously and still do today. Check out what Finland did with the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifles, after all. Sweden was the same way; their arsenal processes kept the rifles running in absolute tip-top condition. There are scores of M96s that were imported with brand new, unfired barrels. If you have an M96 that is not stamped 1, 2, or 3 in the bore condition segment on the stock disc, your rifle was exported with a new barrel. As far as ammo goes...it's gone. Prvi makes some decent brass-cased stuff that can be reloaded though it does tend to heat the barrel up a bit. If you shop right you can pick that stuff up for about $12\20 though the rifles will do better with handloads. I have all the stuff to do it, but haven't yet. Here's the 3 models, other than the M41 which was basically a Rolex'd out M96 with a scope. M94 - 17.7" barrel M38 - 24" barrel (either by Husqvarna in the early 40s or modified existing M96s) M96 - 29" barrel (early ones by Oberndorf in Germany then Gustafs in Sweden) [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i655.photobucket.com_albums_uu277_flatwins_Shooting_Swedes_Swedes2_1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
