Danish Contract Swedish M40 Lahti

[Aragorn243]

Picked this up at Cabela's today. Found it yesterday and came home to investigate it and get some advice. Figured for the price I could hardly go wrong. With some negotiating and then my military discount it was $905.00. My actual out of pocket after points and gift cards was $360.00

It's been rare that my Cabelas has had any decent surplus firearms so this one was a surprise.

Bore is excellent. Doesn't seem to be a lot of wear on it but the exterior has some scratches. Supposed to be a very accurate pistol, it also has some problems in Swedish use. They used submachine gun ammo in them and broke quite a few in the process. They still remained in use into the 1990's when the remaining ones were scrapped. Denmark also used them for many decades without the breakage problems.

This one is not import marked.
