    When the Swedes first arrived en mass I found a rifle first for $89, then a M-38 short rifle for $79, both in excellent shape, and good shooters.

    They’re both US military rounds, and one of the services, Navy, used M-1’s in .308.

    What I was told was a small Allen wrench in the back of the pellet makes placing it in the gun easy.
