Got a hold of a guy today that had a Swede for sale, but was too late. After talking to another guy I ended up with this one.
It appears to be in pretty good shape. The stock looks worse than it is. The metal, for the most part, is in good to very good condition. It would appear kpl Alfred Stouffer didn't do too much boot cleaning with his weapon. Is it proper protocol to leave the tag in place?
I slugged the bore and came up with .310"/.298". I looks like I can finally put my Lyman 311291to work.
I have been checking out threads and feel I have a pretty start on this rifle, but I do have a couple of questions:
Are there any quirks and or do/do nots unique to the function and loading for this rifle?
Is there a good you-tube video about stripping for cleaning?
Any reason to shoot the box of factory or pull the bullets and go straight to boolits?
As I learn more I should find out what I don't know. More questions may follow.
Thanx
Darrell
oh yeah, $300 with the box of factory.
