    a CG-80?

    Can anyone identify this rifle? It looks a bit like a CG 80, with a scope mounted and perhaps the barrel trimmed.

    Identified as a "Custom Swedishicon Mauser in 6.5x55"

    The vertical curve on the butt looks like a left-handed CG80 butt, but the CG80 had an adjustable cheek piece. AND usually an unmissable Carl Gustav stamp on the bottom of the pistol grip. AND a UIT rail on the bottom of the fore-end. AND the curved buttplate also had a crown over C embossed on the hard rubber. AND the bolt handle was straight.

    More pics needed, otherwise I would agree it seems to be a custom job.

    Apparently there were two types of stocks and two barrels types.

    Mine has the 29" barrel, a turned down bolt and an adjustable cheekpiece stock




    But there was a 26" barrel and an different stock. The stock in the original post resembles the earlier type stock and the barrel could be the 26" with the barrel trimmed.

    From another forum that I inquired to, there is also an indication that there was a "plastic stock" CG 80, which I'm totally unfamiliar with.

    The rifle in the original post bears an real resemblance to this stock...but this is the first I've heard of a "plastic stock" CG 80
