Be careful... Swedish Mauser M 38

POLARIS you should lignten up, it's Christmas. Only because I have a small collection of Swede rifles; the first picture does show a shortened barrel. The add says it was rebarreled in Sweden, I'm not sure where the seller obtained that info? Whether the stock disc and the barrel are a match is questionable. With the work on the barrel it is no longer an original Hushvarna model 38.
Enjoy.

And what exactly is your relationship to this fraudulent ad?

You really need to calm down.

Tiriaq simply asked a question and you blow up on him for no reason. People skills are important when trying to convey your point of view. I do agree with you that something is not right with that ad and we will look into it further when it's not Xmas eve :)

Merry Christmas 

hey Dave, I am as calm as a cucumber, but that doesn't mean just because it's Christmas Eve we have to let the garde down.
 
Well Polaris, if you view the sellers feedback he has 5 deals done and 100% a good start. They are all purchases, this appears to be his first sell it takes awhile to learn the ropes.
I'm sure with help from GOOD CGNs he will. Full disclosure on an item is required and saves problems later.

You are right.

I made him aware of the misrepresentation, but he refuses to make the required changes to his ad.
So I started this post to warn other members, who are less experienced, before they get burned.
That's it that's all.

Thank you , I was not aware that all of them had the threads . So I am assuming that the sweedish armorers wouldn't have put a barrel without the threads either ? Actually thanks to all , I'm one that could have been fooled ��

Not all Swedish M38 rifles had threads on the muzzle. The threads were for add for the wood bullet shredder used in training and later for a flash suppressor. You vcan find a flash supressor but that is a US aftermarket item.

Also, Swedish Mausers without threads should require a slight premium over ones with threads, since the ones with threads were likely used and abused in training.

And who knows with the WTS. I've never heard of an M38 having a barrel like described from the factory in Sweden...
 
Yes, I couldn't find any info on a "military" or factory version but they can be modified by shooting organizations. I have also seen a few of these rifles with cut barrels.
 
so if someone doesn't agree with you, it must be a troll.

Yes it is, at least that is what he says. Why are you not in Pink? You are a serial troll.

What Hickock said is, his rifle was converted from a M96 by cutting it down to carbine length, not the same thing at all.

If it's a 96/38 then it will have the 24 inch barrel to replace the 29 inch of the 96.
I've never seen in pictures or in person the end of the barrel cut like that. You couldn't use a bayonet or any of the FSR target front sights used in any of the target shooting organizations.
Only a few Husqvarna rifles were made in the 96 configuration, and these were for the FSR civilian target shooting organization, and they had longer stocks and straight bolt handles.
The true carbines were 94's and had 17 3/4" barrels, bent bolt handles and a unique stock.

Exactly. Which goes back to what the OP was saying: it appears to NOT be an original firearm.
 
Threading was for BFA.... :)

Anybody else agree with this ?

I don't , but I'm a newby to mil surps and mine has threads so I may be biased

I agree that Swedish Mausers that are not threaded generally fetch more than those that are threaded, but I think it's because buyers don't like the threads. Condition is a separate issue and is easily gauged by inspection.
