M96, all matching and not bubba'd, in vg shape, $350. Goes down from there.

funny that you can get a pristine ljungman for less than that.

All depends on who is selling it.

My M38 was $200.

The Fishing store had no idea.

It depends on a few things. Is it a M96 or a M38? What year was it made by Husqvarna? Is it all number matching? If mint condition,all number matching M96 $350 or so. If it's the same condition and all matching M38 $300 or so.

Go flip through the T.E.C. Trade ex site (banner ad on the top). They have dozens of Husky's of all model and condition, so you can get some ammo to bring the price down a little further...

If it's a Husqvarna M96, it's worth a whole lot more than $350, that's because it would be a "Shooting School" rifle. Of course it's not, it's a M38, and hence worth $250-$350 depending on condition.

Figured I'd just thread jack this guy instead of doing a whole new one.



Any ideas on what this guy is worth?

1901 Carl Gustafs M96

All matching numbers, used but not abused. Light chip out of very front wood under nose cap on the gun, but does not harm working order of the gun. Barrel in G-VG condition, has cleaning rod and metal thread protecting nose cap. Crisp action and of course, very good trigger....

Figured I'd ask because I bought it on a whim and now am not sure if I paid too much or not.

Has the threaded metal nose cap. The metal is worn where the bayo rubs against it.

I'd say low $200's. There's stock damage and it appears to have had a finish applied to it. Metal finish shows a lot of wear as well. Not a rare year. A "Shooter Grade" gun.

The Range Plate can add $50 to its value but it has a scratch. It should appear to be "upside-down" on the butt-stock. This is done on purpose so that the shooter can look down at if and read it from a shooting position. I've seen a few improperly applied by an owner (after it left Sweden), and getting them off without damage is a nail-biter (I've done two).
