Threaded Muzzles on Swedish Mausers

[metzgeri]

No, the screw on flash hider was never a Swedish Military issue item. It's a US manufactured aftermarket item only.

I have several threaded and non-threaded Swedes. Accuracy is not effected by the threading, but as you say, by muzzle condition (that and shooter...except in my case )

As an added note and just FYI, the Swedish Military specified that wood blanks would not be fired through the m/41 series of sniper rifles and it can therefore be inferred that they should never have a threaded barrel.

This is just my conjecture, but from my readings, I believe that directive was originally intended to prevent serious injury to troops from wood bullets. Originally, when wood bullets were allowed for training, there was no threaded barrel and no bullet shreader. After cases of injury and death, the shreader was implimented. I believe the sniper rifles would have been accurate enough to serious inflict injury to opposing forces and that is why they were stipulated to not shoot the wooden bullets. Just my dos pesos.

Sorry to dig up this old thread. The aftermarket flash hider was mentioned for the Swedish Mauser and I'm wondering who sells them. I have a couple of Swedish Mauser's with the threaded barrels. I would mind using one of the aftermarket flash hiders as a thread protector for a little variety when not using the short aftermarket thread protector that came with the rifle.

Thanks for the help!
