Schultz & Larsen M88

Did they say anything about the one you picked up? M70/77 in that fancy stock?

I know a lot of the Tradex pieces come from Sweden, they also used S&L rimfires in their clubs. Some weird law that you can only own 8 rifles or something, so when someone wants to acquire new, they have to dump one if they are at the limit already.
I have 8 of the M70/77 (4 of each). The nicest is a late M77, one of the last 100 they made. Came in a nice walnut stock opposed to the beech usually found on them. Oddly it's the best shooting one as well.

I think most of the TEC rifles are from Denmark, where the many Danish shooting clubs used S&L rifles. The stickers that are on many of the TEC M70/77's have Danish words on them. The stocks on the four that I've refinished have all been walnut.

Trade Ex did get one with the M88 stock last fall. It went fairly quickly.
 
would model 71 fit model 70 or 77 stock? I have a stock donor (m70) but I don't want to get stuck with barreled action in case it doesn't fit. I wonder....that mystery barreled action at trade ex is tempting
 
I asked trade ex for a possible M70 stock fitment. Answer was "probably not". I am not handy enough to tinker with the stock to try to adapt it to this mystery barreled action. Don't want to ruin a perfectly good stock.
 
Cmon... Push the little button and buy buy BUY!! Be the only person in all of North America to own an m71.... You may even end up with a new caliber to play with.

While the original query and the response are appreciated, I don't know if that web site confirms anything about that barreled action identity.

Has anyone seen reference elsewhere to a Schultz and Larsen Model 71 in 22LR?

For the record, I didn't contact that organization recommended in the email. I contacted Schultz & Larsen directly and that reply was from the Schultz & Larson director himself.

LOL! I could then shoot it like a bazooka, rest it on my shoulder and have someone behind me load it and even squeeze the trigger.
 
ultimately someone will buy this barreled action M71. It is only a matter of time. Hopefully that person will report back. If I sell some of the stuff I have for sale, I will buy it if it is still there.

Were they walnut like this? Out of the 8 I got, only one came with this type of wood.

I'd probably say that was beech as well. Both these, while quite different colors/figure are beech.

Few more.
 
Your examples look like walnut. Beech has characteristic medullary rays, which these seem to be lacking. But there's little to be gained by pursuing this further. We'll have to agree to disagree. And that's okay.
 
Different grades of beech will have the fish eye/half moon characteristics, Danish M1 garand stocks for example are full of it and pretty gross lol.
This BSA I picked up is beech and has figure but none of the defects.

More from S&L director when pressing for more information. It would seem to verify the caliber is 22lr, but they do not seem willing to elaborate on the m71.

Im not into the small caliber rifles for target shooting, and the only 22lr( your rifle) we do today is high accuracy barrels for some of the world record holders.



I sold all the 22lr parts in 1999, and promised to stay out of that marked.

Late 80's S&L got pushed out of all the Scandinavian shooting clubs when they chose Anschutz. Some stayed with the S&L...the ones that shot consistently well. Some are much more accurate then others even with match ammo.
Still, for $300 here, nothing comes close to the quality and accuracy.

There is no information that comes up on searches for a Schultz and Larsen Model 71. S&L model numbers derived from the year production began for that model. The serial number of the barreled action in question is a little hard to make out but it is a five digit number below 20000. That would suggest that the receiver was originally an M70 and later modified. Perhaps it was a design intended to be competitive with other rifles that not only had an improved trigger but also had grooved dovetails that could accept aftermarket diopter sights better than those normally available on the M70/77.
