Well guys, here are the pictures, taken on my loading bench, prior to ensonsing it in my solid locking gun room!
After my posting last night where I said I was talking to this fellow on the phone, and trusted him. I said the fellow stated it had never been issued to the troops. Some of you doubted this, so what do you think now, that you can look at some pictures.
A couple of you said to act fast, so how about this. I had a rifle he wanted, this Swede was to be half payment for it. We stated prices on the phone, before either of us had seen the other.
He came to my house with the Swede, we traded and he paid me. Ten minutes later each was registered in the new owners name! He stated he sure liked dealing with me and I returned the compliment.
Note the second picture. It is under the raised up sight. That appears to be original grease still smeared on it. There was also some on the magazine carrier, but I wiped it off, before I thought of what it appeared to be.
The last digits of the s/n are everywhere, from the butt plate to the front barrel band.
I have a close up of the disc in the butt. If anyone can figure out the code from it, let me know and I will send it to you.

A walnut stocked M96. In VG condition. It all looks correct and is very nice. All numbers matching as well. The polish on the receiver, is a bit on the dull side. Not a deterrant but more than likely a result of a refurb. A close up of the stock disc will reveal how good the bore measures out.

Tradex has leather slings and bayonets for that rifle.

Very pretty Swede you have there Bruce
 
Nice find, buddy.

I can tell you what's on the disk.

I too, am wondering about the barrel lenght... The grease does not mean much, since the Swedes used to put their firearms into storage (in some kind of garages, only locked by a chain and a padlock... Ask the bikers how they found the bazookas they used 10 years ago...).
They also issued a lot of these rifles to civilian marksmenship programs.
 
Nice rifle there, Bruce! I have an M38 and a couple of nice old M96's. The actions are so nice on those rifles.
 
It's definitely an M96. Look at the amount of barrel showing after the upper hand guard. The rear sight is also an early style M96 sight.
I agree, very nice rifle. You don't see many that nice any more. It also has an early walnut stock.
