New Scandinavian to the collection

Miss Sweden now joins the 2 ladies from Finland (my two Sako 75s) :)

1943 Husqvarna M1938 Mauser in 6.5x55 Swe

Got this, as my Mosin Nagant is not ideal for shooting, with the rear sight sliding from the 100 to the 300m mark on recoil everytime I fire a shot. :roll:

Hi there, no sorry it doesn't have the thread for the blank firing device.
Unusual for a M1938.

All my parts are matching. No bayonet, but I'm not fussed, as neither does my Mosin Nagant and I took the lug off my AR15.

when you do find them here they can cost as much as the gun

You can buy new reproduced ones here for $130 I've seen.

An original one that's not in great condition here is about $75. A good condition one is about $150?

Never seen a pristine original one going second hand. That would fetch a premium.

Looks good over all. Hard to see from the picture but the sling swivel on the butt looks a bit knocked about is all?
