Carl Gustaf Info?

[nexgen]

Hi all, I don't have much experience with the milsurp stuff and my cousin has a couple that he would like some more info on and I thought I'd post em here and get it from the experts.

First is a Carl Gustaf that is stamped 1916, Ser # 394###, all numbers match and the wood is all there, scratched up and dinged but no cracks or splits.

Second is, from what I can tell, a P17 Enfield in 303, the wood had been cut back and refinished, the disc is still in the stock and there is a stamp further up the buttstock that looks like an "IE" or and "LE" with an arrow above it.

The metal appears to be original and matching.

We'd like to know a little of the history and an approximate value if possible with the info I've provided.

Thanks,

nexgen.

Unless the focus on the picture is worse than I think, it doesn't look anything like a P14 (17.)
Try to get some more pictures, in focus, more like the first one.

That's a Swedish M38 Mauser made by Swedish Arsenals by modifying a Carl Gustaf M96.

It appears to be in "Good" condition (there are better examples out there), and if the bore is excellent, would be a $200-$250 gun. These guns were in use by Sweden until up to the 1950's.

A sporterized P14 (the M1917 "P17" was in 30-06) wouldn't likely be worth more than $150.

H4831, the pics were of the Gustaf, didn't get any of the P14.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate it.
