Evening Gents,

I have a 96/38 (1915) Swedishicon Mauser, and the front band is Extremely tight to get on and off. Has to be tapped all the way whilst spring is depressed.
Is this 'normal' and correct? I have had other 96's and 38s years ago and don't remember this issue. Any light on this most welcome!
Rifle still looks about new, but has miss-matched bands. all else is matching.

Thanks in advance,

Richard.
