Swedish Mauser Muzzle

[joeb33050]

A guy at the range has a "new Swedish Mauser, and asked:
What are the threads for on the muzzle?
How do you read the brass plate on the stock?
I don't remember.
Anybody?
Thanks;

There were at least two versions of the disk over the course of production, IIRC.
The threads on the muzzle are for a "Blank firing adapter" which screws on to break up the wooden projectiles which were loaded into the swede blank rounds. There is a small cover whgich threads over them to protect them in the field. The brass disk includes the last three digits of the throat diameter, with a mark over the matching value, as well as the armorers general impression of the bore condition, "0" being brand new and "3" being as far gone as they'd let it get without rebarreling. There is a third quandrant on most disks the purpose of which escapes my memory right now. Prehaps whether the sights were regulated to the older 160 grain round or the newer 139 grain round. On the wrist behind the trigger guard there will be a crown stamp for each time the rifle was back to the armory for inspection. A disk reading "0" or "1" and 6.49 to 6.50 means that the barrel was in excellant condition the last time the armorer looked it over. It's anyones guess what has happened to it since then. Most of the Swedes are excellant shooters. However a headspace check would be in order.

In addition some variations had a flash hider/ thread protector. GPC has both.

The Swedes also had a range plate on the side of the butt.
*Note the four nail holes on the side of the butt beside the stock disc.
Alot of these are long gone from the rifles today . This photo is of one to remind myself of something to look for at gunshows and such.

I bought a flash hider because I couldn't find a thread protector,it turned an accurate rifle into a shotgun. It was chucked in a lathe and turned into a thread protector. I don't believe it was a military issue item. While I can't be sure I have read that the issue protector was plastic. Many of the rifles I have looked at had the plastic protector on it.

They are very accurate and I like Enfields too.

M14 x 1. That is 14 m.m. dia. and 1m.m. pitch.

The purpose was to attach a device that shredded the wooden bullets used in loading the blank ammunition.

Stripper clips are available from Samco in Miami, Florida.

The "flash suppressor" was an importer's idea with what to do about the exposed threads. The Swedes used a simple plastic/nylon thread protector that just slipped over the threads to protect them. These thread protectors easily came adrift and got lost; even if present, they don't look very "cool", hence the "cool" flash suppressor" was added after importation. My M 38 Husky short rifle came with the flash suppressor, which was removed and now reposes in the Prince William County Landfill. I have an 1899 Oberndorf long rifle that is threaded and still has the "uncool", but authentic, Swedish plastic thread protector in place. (It also has a Soderin sight).

I have taken all of my Swedes out of the safes for the A-1 PMS check, and I decided to slug bores (which I had not done previously) and got some rather odd results. I will post about that later.

Resp'y,

I too have a small steel screw on thread protector that I bought when I got the gun, I also have one of the flash hiders. I don't remember where I got the gun.

Thought that picture looked familiar:-D.

At least say, "picture stolen from the congenial and benevolent Dutchman," and provide the url. Do that and I'll call Guido and Bubba :Fire: and cancel the ~visit~.

Actually, this is only the 4th time I've found one of my photos lifted from the website. Once on an Italian website, once on a CD off ebay and once on Ar15.com and now this one. Ooops... 5th time.. the yahoo rolling block group guy had a whole bunch of my stuff, copyrighted stuff, copied and he chopped off the part that said "(C) Dutchman". I gave him a little bitchslap and then gave him permission to use them with the (C) Dutchman on the bottom of each page.

I've just updated the above website with a bunch of new pages.

Dutchman - loading cast boolits tonight in the .30-06

Sorry for any inconvenience.
This photo has been passed around abit and I saved it from yet another forum and didn't show anything as to where it came from. Seen it again just within the last week or so .
There's a couple of my photos floating about too...I see it as more of flattery than anything.
Thx
