1902 Swede questions from a newbie

feeds@yuku.com (bambam91) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:03:06 GMT

I am a newbie to Swedes, but I post on the Enfield forum.

I usually stop by various stores and pawn shops looking for un-bubba'd Enfields. Today I came across a 1902 M96 Mauser made at Carl Gustaf Stad. (CGS). From what I can tell all of the metal parts match. The foreend bands, bolt, striker, safety, and buttplate. The cleaning rod is numbered but does not match. I did see in this forum that cleaning rods were not numbered until after 1905 (correct?). I also noticed,...

New to Sweds and rifle ownership. Help with info please?

feeds@yuku.com (Reidy) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:48:19 GMT

Hi All.

I am not new to shooting as I have owned many air rifles, used to go hunting with my friends Grandad (using his shot guns, 410, 20g, 16g, 12g O/U's, S/S's and semi auto's) and have used some british military rifles in the army cadets over there (.303, .22 and the SA80 5.56mm nato). I am from the UK, where rifle ownership is difficult at best, but now live in PA. I am a fabricator / welder and a machinist (lathes, millers, borers etc).

OK, I have just...

Need more Swede info

feeds@yuku.com (dc7x64) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:54:10 GMT

I have what I presume is an M-96 Swede. I found it in a used gunrack in the local Gunsmiths shop/store for $150. It had already been Bubbafied! The gunsmith told me that the importer was responsible for the hack job and that they did it to improve sales! Dont know if there is much validity in his story.but I bought it anyway. It was drilled and tapped for Weaver scope mounts, the barrel was cut down to 23.5" and it was fitted in a Ramline Woodtech synthetic stock. The crown job was...

Where to find stock range conversion charts and discs?

Hi,

I bought a cool-looking stock off ebay and it's missing the bullet nose conversion chart and disc. Where would I get those and the pins/screw that holds those on?

Questions about the M/38

feeds@yuku.com (brody729) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:01:56 GMT

Two questions about the M/38: (offered to anyone who cares to answer)

1) The early M/38's, the ones made with earlier M/96 receivers are frequently described as being "cut down" from M/96's (Crown Jewels, p81). Did these early M/38's actually use "cut down" barrels from the existing M/96 barrels, or is that just short hand for actually re-barreling with a new, shorter length barrel?

2) I have examples of both the early M/38's and the...

Cleaning Rod Stock Nut

feeds@yuku.com (sp00ky2) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:23:52 GMT

Hi,
I have a Husqvarna 1942 M38 and would like to know if there is a cleaning rod nut that is embedded into the stock so that the cleaning rod threads into it. I think mine is missing. Does anyone stock that nut if it is.
Thanks

Finally brought home a Swede

feeds@yuku.com (Trapdoor 4570) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:00:08 GMT

I finally took the plunge and brought home a Swede, I hope that they do not prove as addictive as the Swiss & Springfield's have been.

It is a 96-38, 1899 Oberndorf in very good + to excellent condition with a Vasteras sight adapter and a brand new issue sling.

Anyone have an extra bolt that goes in front of the bayonet lug?

feeds@yuku.com (WeeWillie) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:20:31 GMT

I bought a M94 about 6 months ago and put it away in the gun cabinet.
I was looking at the weapon drawings at e-gunparts.com and realized
that I was missing a part.
Unfortunately they dont have one.
Someone want to be nice to a sad M94 owner.......PLEASE

Swedish M46 factory sporter scope mount problems

feeds@yuku.com (Smokepole50) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:58:12 GMT

I have a Model 46 9.3x57 that was customized in Sweden. It has a side mount three screw base with detatchable scope base similar to a Swedish Sniper rifle.

I noticed that the rear mechanical scope base elevation needs to be adjusted very high in order for the scope to have enough elevation adjustment.

I guess my question is how much of a verticle mechanical adjustment in the detatchable scope base is acceptable without damaging...

6.5x55 Bullet Recommendations

feeds@yuku.com (Kenfal) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:04:49 GMT

I am going to start reloading for my Swede's. I have never reloaded before and I will have some help but would like recommendations for bullets. I have 3 M96 FSR rifles and 2 CG63's and have another CG63 and a CG80 on the way. I some Sierra 120 gr MK and 140 gr MK bullets for the M96's. Will these work as well for the CG63's and CG80 or is there a different weight I should go with? I will be shooting 100 yds with an occasional 200 yd maximum distance. I have been researching...

Swede 6.5X55 load suggestions

feeds@yuku.com (Kenfal) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:07:56 GMT

I have never reloaded but will start to feed my swede's. I have M96 FSR rifles, CG63's and an CG80 on the way. I have read as many posts as I could find to see what others are using to handload. I ordered some 120 gr and 140 gr Sierra MK bullets and will use Privi brass. I was able to trade for some CCI 200 primers. Some of the recommended powders, 4350, 4895, 4831 etc are not available. I was able to locate RL-19, RL-22 and IMR 4064 powder from one source. The powder is scarce...

Swede M96 with cracked stock-HOW TO FIX?

feeds@yuku.com (blano86) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:44:46 GMT

I recently received a beautiful Swedish M1896 Mauser with the "SA" stamp. The stock is beautiful and it matches the receiver. So it is the original stock. The only problem is that the stock cracked by the bayonet lug area enroute to my house thru USPS. Kind of a bummer but that happens. Anyways I would love to repair her but I will probably buy another stock just to keep the original stock safe. The pictures I took are the best I could do. I can tweek the crack to where it will...

Sporterized 96 Swede

feeds@yuku.com (wickemt) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:22:15 GMT

Hullo all.

New to the shooting sports, and I picked up a Swede on auctionarms.com as my first rifle. It's been chopped down- a travesty, I know, but may prove useful in the thick woods of NY and NJ. The bluing is probably about 75-80%, the numbers all match - 00960 - and more than anything else I'm wondering how old this puppy is, and whether it's of Swedish or German origin. How would I be able to tell?

I'll try to get some pictures up next time I'm...
