Only the Danish Krag has a barrel jacket. Seemed to be popular with rifles at the time, such as the Commission Gew 88.

Swedish Lahti.


Finish Lahti.


And probably the weirdest and most traveled Scandinavian firearm...

It started life as a German WWII K-98... The Swedes bought 5,000 K-98's from Germany at the beginning of WWII. The Swede's converted them to 8x63mm, and used them as light anti armor rifles, then issued them to their heavy machine gun squads, as the Swedish heavy MG of the day was also chambered in the 8x63mm cartridge. After WWII some of the rifles made their war to Israel, where they were converted to 7.62 Nato, and served with the Israeli army. In the 70's a number of Israeli rifles were sold to Guatemala, and were heavily used until they were sold to Century Arms and imported into the US...

The only way to ID these "Ex German Ex Swedish Ex Israeli Ex Guatemalan" rifles is the Swedish "GB" inspector proofs on the left side rail. I looked for years to find one of these.





Lastly a pretty Finn marked Swedish M/96 rifle.

Center and right are my Finn M27's.

The left one is a M91 Tula, but it is a Finn-capture.

[vivelacolo]

Some of the 96 and 38 followed by few 94 with revolver and semi auto, the rolling blocks later with the Finnish Mosins
