Carl Gustaf???

Carl Gustav was a important Swedish King.
The state arms factory was named after him.
The model 96 mausers were made at that factory in a town
called Eskulstuna (which is south and west of Stockholm).
The cartouche should say something like

Bofors is a steel manufacturer in Sweden..Sako and others used to buy thier steel from this plant. When Stoeger took over the importing of Sako rifles they removed the name of thier steel supplier from the rifles...it was kind of like having the name of the steel mill rolling the sheet metal stamped on the fenders of a Chevy truck. The steel still came from Bofors, it just wasn't stamped on the barrels.
AKTIEBOLAGET BOFORS
(THE BOFORS CO., LTD.)
At Bofors, 19 miles from the north east shore of Sweden’s largest lake--Lake
Venern--the Bofors Company, Ltd., carries on the manufacture of iron and steel
and, in combination with this, the making of munitions, which have for several years
enjoyed a world-wide reputation.
LOCATION AND TRANSPORT CONDITIONS.
The Bofors Steel works are situated at the station of the same name on the normal
gauge, private railway Ervalla-Strömtorp-Otterbäcken, which is connected at Ervalla
and at Strömtorp with the State Railway system. Otterbäcken Station-which is
also a harbour-stands on the shore of Lake Venern, which lake, now that the
Troll-hätte Canal has been deepened, is accessible to transoceanic steamers of 1,400 tons
carrying capacity. The distance between Bofors and Otterbäcken is 38 miles. The
nearest mining district has its centre in the little town of Nora, and from this district
the Company takes its ores. The distance is about 25 miles.
HISTORY AND EXPANSION.
There is reason to suppose that the manufacture of iron was carried on at Bofors in
ancient times. There are, however, no written documents to this effect. The farm of
III: 2 - 20S75. Iron and Steel in Sweden.
Husqvarna was never sold to Carl Gustav, as CG was never a manufacturere, just a name Husqvarna used on a rifle...kind of like putting the Stevens name on a Savage.
In 1970, Husqvarna transfers its arms manufacture to FFV (Försvarets Fabriksverk, the Swedish Defence Factories). But Husqvarna continues to produce a few particular rifles, in extremely limited series, until 1989. That year, in conjunction with the 300th anniversary of the company, 15 of the “Anniversary Weapons” are the last weapons to leave the factory. The Husqvarna factory museum includes an extensive collection of weapons. From the oldest, a flintlock rifle from 1735 to the “Anniversary Weapon” of 1989.

They also made a 9mm smg. The Carl Gustav rifles(6.5x55) are incredibly accurate.
