    Part 1 of the Swedish double whammy!!

    I know you guys like Swedes here, so I want to share a pair of recent acquisitions. I'll post this one first... It's a 1943 Husqvarna M96 that was made for the Frivilliga Skytterorelsen (FSR)
    Volunteer Shooters' Organization. It still has the Pramm diopter rear sight and a simple tunnel front sight hood.
    I have another FSR 96 with the Elit sight, but this is my first Pramm sight. I was surprised to see how low it sits, and you can see the handguard has been shaved to clear the line of sight.
    The Husqvarna made rifles don't have as many serial numbered parts as the Mauser & Carl Gustav made Swedes, but they did stamp the tilted crown on each part which are all present here.

    I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

    Everyone else flocks to the M41, I prefer this one. How much do you want for it?

      beautiful. Very nice.
      Ignorance is a matter of choice and is usually cured by age, experience and education, but stupid is genetic in nature, and incurable.

            This one has been on the buy list for a long long time. I always see M38 Husqvarnas but no 96s, so when I finally got a chance at this one I had to add it to the "don't sell" list too

                Yes, I got a friend hooked up with a table in our area and this sat on his table until Saturday afternoon... That's when we finally struck a deal on it. I'm hoping to shoot it this week... I need to get busy and load a lot of Swede ammo!
