Potential M96 Swed

[fal_762x51]

Well I saw a nice ~75% 1917 M96 Swedish Mauser at my local shop. She looks used on the outside, beautiful mirror bore, and a couple of small parts force matched. They want $250 and are holding it for me until payday. Is the price a good reflection of the market?

Seems fair.

I rarely see any Swede Mauser lower than $400, so yeah I'd say that is a good price.

Being a 1917, there is a possibility the stock could be Elm or other less common type of wood too. That's something I always look for when Swede shopping.

Buy it!

Mirror bore means tack driver. you won't regret buying a Swede.

The stock is not elm, but walnut (?).

Well another C&R to cast for, damn. Thanks guys.

Good deal go for it.

You won't go wrong for $250. Besides you need a new caliber to reload for anyways.

Well, the 10 days has begun. I also noticed it was not threaded with a removable protector.

It should coincide with the Alumahyde 2 curing from the Suomi build.

I picked her up. She is underneath the A3. I had to rearrange the front of the safe to squeeze her in. Not bad for $297 out the door.
