Ol' Mr. Chub needs to get his facts straight.
The Swedes never used the '93 model action. From day one, they used the '96 action, designed specifically for them by Wilhelm and Paul. The same action they started with then, they were using at wars end after WWII.
So, this pretty much null and voids "Chubby's" argument.

My close friend is a retired gunsmith. He drilled and tapped many a '96 Swede in his day. Always claimed the Swedes were butter soft. Tough exteriors but butter soft interiors. However, as long as you stayed with the 6.5x55 cartridge you were very safe. He barreled up a few .308 Swedes and didn't like the work. He always claimed the 03-A3 was the worst. Tough exterior and tough interiors.

The first Swede Mauser was the M94 carbine, for what its worth.
Based on my experience drilling and tapping Swedes, the metallurgy of the CG 96s is different from the M38s made by Husqvarna.
