It looks like a Swedish M96. The bolt handle is straight and the stepped barrel lead me to believe this. It also looks like the safety lever had been modified ,the barrel cut down and the front sight replaced as well.

the bold did was severly curved i straighted it to clear the scope and after careful inspection the barrel appears to be cut down but it must have been done by a pro as it has been re crowned
the last three of the serial match three digits stamped on the bolt... matching parts?

The rear sight looks like an M96 SM-Sikte sight insert.
Don't loose it!

If you ever sell that rifle find yourself a minty full wood M98 Swede, and drop that sight insert into it.

why would i do that? I would pop it out now and drop it in one does it make it worth more? and do you know what a mint woody is worth?

ill think all night see if i can come up more questions tomorrow!
