I went to the local gun shop today to see about ordering a Saiga .308 and came home with this! I couldn't resist! I don't know if I paid too much or not, but the price wasn't bad at all considering what I paid for a Yugo SKS last December.

This has got to be the most beautiful surplus rifle I have ever seen. Most of my money for the Saiga is gone now, but I just couldn't leave this at the shop. :D

Sweeeeeet! Gotta love those Sweds. Looks to be in Excellent + condition. I bet the bore is super too! Now you've got to go shoot it and see how it groups.:up:

The bore is like a mirror! The blueing on 95% percent of the gun is like new. It's sweet!

The shop where I got mine had 3 in almost the identical shape. Only 2 were left when I got this one.

The barrel bands and magazine floorplate are not numbered the same as the bolt, action, and stock. I don't really care about that stuff when I find a rifle that is this pristine.

I almost don't want to shoot it! I would like to hang it on the wall and I just might, but I will shoot it!;)

Sangrun - check to see if that is the original stock. The Swedes numbered their stocks on the inside. I would be interested to know if it was the original. You have a very nice M96 there.

Smittylite,

The stock has the original serial number stamped in both peices.:)

SangRun Hunter- I live in the northern Cinci area, and I have been unable to find any Swedes locally. Dunhams rarely have them, and the PRO and goodman shows don't either. Any chance you could let me in on where you got this? Off list, if you prefer- madboy357@yahoo.com I would much appreciate it. madboy357
