Here she is, just a teaser pic or two, the remainder are in the Swede forum. It's a 1906 Carl Gustav all-matching M96.

Nope, a local dealer here. It was in his shop for about a month before I finally put some money down on it.

Smitty,

That is the most gorgeous Swedish Stock I have ever seen, hands down.

I'm in love!

I think the Swedes win the prize for keeping their rifles in like-new condition - They look like they were just made yesterday (but, alas!, I don't think you could find craftmanship like that in the 21st century!) :(

1. L:ove them Swedes:sex:

[BDA]

Some day I'll have a Swede and maybe a rifle too. :)

[Elduce]

Beautiful rifles!! (Here is where I embarrass myself.) Who is Carl Gustav? (sorry folks. But we are here to learn:D )

[Faulkner]

I'm even more ignorant . . . what caliber are they? (They are very nice looking rifles!)

6.5 x 55 swiss.

[neilwest]

1. beautiful!!!!:D

[smittylite]

Sorry, the official factory where it was built was Carl Gustafs
Stadt Gevarsfaktori, hence Carl Gustaf. The M96 was also built by Mauser Oberndorf in Germany and by Husqvarna(yes of dirtbike and chainsaw fame).

They fire the 6.5x55 round. And it is Swedish, not Swiss. :p

I knew that! I was checking to see if anyone was going to catch it. :D

Actually you beat me to it, I was going to correct the mistake, but couldn't respond fast enough.

[Estop]

Ohhhhhh! Maaaaann! Now I'm gonna have to get a Swede.

[REDSTAR]

droooool

[Twisted Cross]

Those are some nice Swedes! I have a 1915 Carl Gustav non-matching parts, but the bolt and action match along with the stock. Very nice rifles indeed! I had some pics online, but they are gone now.

Man that wood is givin me a stiff wood, is it that beautiful on the flip side??
