    Swedish M41B ... Update! It arrived

    I went out on a limb this weekend and bid on a Swedish M41B at an online estate auction. The auction pics were few and not that great and the description very spare, but I bid accordingly.

    Here are the pics...







    Description advised that it is a "Mauser Carl Gustafs 1899 Sniper Rifle".

    I'll post better pics and description when I get it.

                      Nice. Wish the M-41B I have still had its scope.

                                          The M41B arrived at my FFL today. I got a chance to grab a few pictures before it went into the safe for the 10 day "cooling off" period.

                                          It looks legit...

                                          Bolt is blued and matching (body). The bolt sleeve, cocking piece and safety match each other, but not the bolt body.



                                          There is an M55 adjustable rear sight mounted



                                          Base and scope mount serial number match (19530) and appear to be correct for the receiver date (1899)


                                          Stock apprear to be beech replacement (common for these rifles, I'm told) and has a single crown cartouche behind the trigger guard.



                                          Scope and mount appear to be correct for the M41B


                                          Anyone see anything out of place?

                                              Yes, I see a rifle that should be in my safe

                                              Joking aside, I know nothing about these but that looks like a keeper

                                              Congrats, looks like the limb you went out on was sturdy

                                                      Looks right. The finish on the bolt parts is called "Dulite". It's more of a black than a blue.
