Swedish M41B

[pahoghunter]

Hi I'm new to the site, and I am thinking about purchasing Swedish Mauser M41B (if I can find one) I started looking for information on line, one thing I found was scope windage adjustments using base screws, it sounds a little tedious, also what are the chances on something this old the adjustment screws might not be rusted tight? Where would be a place to start looking for this rifle? thanks Bob

Er, ummm, sorry to be picky and all that Doug, but surely this topic would be better placed on the Mauser forum?

And Pahoghunter, go carefully. There are some dodgy M41Bs around. A friend at my club bought one. It seems to be genuine enough - and a poor shooter, which is unusual for a Swede. I suspect that these rifles may have had many more bullets shot through their barrels than the typical serviceman's rifle.
