Got my PAL last fall-started Swede collecting

[joelyknives]

Hello, Joel here. Got my PAL last fall and never looked back. One guy told me it's just a licence to buy. Love the wwII stuff-more meat and character to 'em than the new plastic stuff.
I'm starting a Swede collection-I've got a m96, m96/38 carbine, ag42b. I'm missing the kit for the ag42b, slings/stock disc/and lower band spring for the 38. I have a few other various mausers original and sportered. I don't mind the sporters but I'd like to fix them with some polished bluing and nice walnut. Can anyone recommend an affordable source to send for a bluing job? glassarm1@hotmail.com Thanks. Joel.

Welcome to the madness... first, ask the mods to join the Equipment Exchange (aka EE) - then be prepared to part with all of you $$$ as there are always beautiful milsurps available. I love the swedes - have a couple of them - and they are sweet shooter! But then you'll try a mauser here and and enfield there...then you'll see and hear the "ping" of a Garand... next thing you know you will be looking for the next fix... a Johnson... a G43 you never end...
