This is the favorite of all my rifles. I got this one several years ago for a song and a dance even though I am left handed and steer away from bolt guns generally. It's in incredible condition to be...
Very nice looking rifle IMHO.
Is that a Finish Army stamp on the receiver? Good looking rifle!
I have a heavy interest in the M96 Swedish Mauser and the SKS, specifically Yugoslavian and Russian in that order.
Fascinating thread with very good info. My thanks to all!
Fascinating, this is my introduction to these rifles. Thanks Aragorn243
I agree, they are butt-ugly but I find myself wishing I had picked up one when I could get it for about $89. That is a very nice specimen daveboy!
Looks very interesting, thanks for all the work put into this project.
I didn't see (with just a quick look) any manuals for Swedish small arms, specifically the M96 Mauser, are there any?

There are some beautiful rifles in this forum, so I just gotta show mine off too!
Beautiful rifle, these are among the best, if not THE best, in the world in it's class!
The wife and I have had five SKS carbines through the years, now she has a Chinese model and I have a Russian (1953 Tula) and both shoot very well. We also have two AR15s, in the same caliber as the...
We own two of them, I have had five through the years and have nothing but praise for the SKS. As long as a shooter that is new to the SKS realizes and accepts the fact these are not sniper rifles...
My wife and I each have had PSA Carbines in 7.62x39mm for about a year. We have approx $530 in each of them and have zero complaints about their appearance, durability and function. We use ASC 20...
