new to me swedish 96

[ronny]

There used to be a Swede-dedicated forum which had a cleaning rod "sticky" which served as a clearing house for trading cleaning rods. Can't for the life of me remember what it was, though. I'm a lot of help, I know.

range report- i'm in love...this thing will make one hole with a five shot group at 50. the range was fairly busy and didn't get a chance to go out to 100. i shot sellier&ballot and winchester. the s&b was more accurate maybe due to its more true euro specs. with most of my factory ammo gone i am looking forward to loading for this beauty!

Pics or didn't happen

Pics or didn't happen

Went by H&H today and they had a very nice 96 made in 1909....was not able to see if all the numbers matched or not.
Had it marked down from 625 to 575......YMMV.

Wow! Just, Wow!

well, i would say i got one HELLUVA deal on mine then!

I just latched onto a 1910, the stock has some dings but the metal is pristine...All matching except the cleaning rod.
SO!!!..If anybody runs across a cleaning rod numbered 212, I am interested!!!

we need pics! i have an extra rod that is not numbered that i can find also.

Yeah that's a bit of wishful thinking. They can be picked up for quite a bit less than that price.

Maybe these guys will check their stock for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Swedish-Mauser-Model-1896-M96-Cleaning-Rod-/370624351950?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item564aeecece
