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.
