![]() I thought something was broke after the first shot as the recoil was the same to me as a M-16 shot. My theory is that people pass the #2 over and they remain less shot and abused for a few more decades than the #1, and usually go for a bit less! Here's mine, the first 5 rounds I ever fired in it were 100M headshots with the iron sights. Of the 3 at the gunshow, the #2 had the best bore. ![]() How many decades ago was it made? More than half a century ? I bought mine on the recommendation NOT to get a zero or one stamp for a few reasons: the disks are readily available stamped however you want online, or the stamp was done decades ago, and the zero and one stamps are the most sough and shot! Inspect these rifles as you would any other rifle. I have to agree that the Swedish mauser should be in any mulsurps collection, but i have to add NOT to get too stuck on what the disc says. Here is a link to a site that has lots of interesting information on Swedish stock marking disks. I almost forgot: They do not contain any MiM parts! If you take the time to learn a little bit about Swedish marking disks, it is hard to go far wrong. Swedish-made Carl Gustaf Mausers are also beautifully made however, they are not as scarce as the early German guns. These are harder to find and they are nicer in that they come with walnut stocks. These initials are those of the inspector who first inspected the rifle.Īnother thing to keep in mind is that early Swedish Mausers were made in Germany by Waffenfabrik Mauser. You will notice a set of initials next to the serial number. Avoid these poor abused rifles and try to get an unmolested original. Some Swedish Mausers have threaded barrels for blank firing devices. So when you are at that gunshow, buy a Swedish Mauser with a zero or a 1 marking. We have a model 38 Swedish Mauser with a zero barrel marking and a model 96 with a 1 marking. A zero barrel means a brand new barrel and this means that you have a rifle fresh from an arsenal rebuild or a new rifle. This means that your rifle has a zero barrel. Sometimes you see a rifle and it does not have any arrow near the 1, 2 or 3. ![]() The number 2, means a good barrel while number 3 means a barrel in need of replacement. If there's a small stamped arrow pointing to the number 1, then you know that your rifle has an excellent barrel. You will see a small wedge with the numbers 1, 2 and 3. And this disk tells you about the condition of the barrel. These marvellous rifles are a must for any home arsenal or gun collection.īut how do you know that you are buying a good one? Well listen to me and you will do just fine.Įvery Swedish Mauser bears a marking disk. The Swedish Mauser is a wonderful, classic rifle. ![]()
