I purchased my first Mauser rifle. A Swedish M38 from 1943 in a very good condition. All numbers are matching including the bayonet and the rifle sling.
Bore is clean and i hope it is also a good shooter. Thanks to dogtag for your comment at my other thread. I am happy!:super:

Congrats. Looks like a good looking smoke pole. Let us know how it shoots.
You have bought a beautiful M-96. You can be justly proud. It will give you many years of shooting enjoyment. Enjoy! Sincerely. BruceV.
I have to purchase a die set and cases and bullets. If i have all these things i give you a report how it shoots.

Gunner
Great looking M38, gunner. Bet it shoots as well as it looks.
What kind of reloading equipment do you use? How much are components over there?
I haven't reloaded for my Swedish Mausers yet. I have reloaded for my 7.5 Swiss and 8 x 57 rifles. Looking forward to reloading for some of my 7.65 x 53 Mausers also.
Over here, RCBS is a big reloading equipment company. I live about an hour's drive away from them. So most of my equipment tends to be RCBS.
Good luck with that M38.
Best regards, Steve
Gunner, if you haven't already got it, I recommend that you buy the Visier Special Nr. 28 "Sportschiessen mit Ordonnanzwaffe". The recipes in there are pretty good.

Hi Steve,
thank you. I use different reloading dies. I have a RCBS competition set, Hornady dies and as a extreme accurate die set a Triebel precision die set wich is extra made for my rifles chamber and the Bullets and cases. The normally custom grade die sets are at 65$ and the good stuff begins at 140$.
So i think i have to move to California. You have a great shooting range and RCBS is near mmhhh, fine.
Best Regards
Ulrich
Hello Patrick,
thanks for the advice. I have it and you got right, there are any good recipes. Use some of the .303 and had only a little difference with the load to fit for my rifles.
Regards
Gunner
Ulrich,
Very nice looking Swede!!! :super:
You have several online sources for reloading data (that I know of, all U.S.):

Reloader's Nest - a reloaders resource

I'm sure there are more, especially in Germany.
I hope you're enjoying Paulaner Dunkel, as I'm extremely jealous of you being in Bavaria!!! :beerchug:
