While visiting a local gun shop over the weekend I looked over a Swedishicon M38 in 6.5x55mm that caught my interest. I was prepared to make an offer until I looked over the crown.

The rifling ended just before the end of the muzzle, perhaps 0.5". Is this a normal thing for the M38, or has this rifle been counterbored at the muzzle?

Otherwise it was a good example, and the range plate was in decent condition.

Thoughts?
