Hello,

A friend of mine has a milsup that he is trying to identify. Here is his description:

"The 6.5 mm rifle that I was told was a Swedish sniper rifle has no manufacturer's name written on it. In several places you can see the number 755. I assume that's the serial number. On the top of the barrel the number 1913 is stamped, as well as a crest or coat of arms having a crown over what appears to be a stylized "R". There are other smaller symbols including an "F" followed by what appears to be swastika, followed by "3", all over "11". "

Does anyone have any more info about this rifle?

Cheers,

George
 
Its the M1896 Swedish Mauser I'd assume judging by that date on the barrel, not a Sniper as they were made 1941 and after I belive hense the model name for the snipers M41. :)
