This is the unusual Swedish 6.5mm caliber Model 1938 short rifle, developed from the Model 1896 long rifle used by the Swedish military through WW1 and in variants up till 1944. Originally based on the Mauser M1893, the M38 was Sweden's answer to the trend for shorter length rifles which started in WW1. This rifle is in lovely authentic condition, marked Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB on the breech, where 88,000 were made between 1942 and 1944, with very good original blacking to the steel, and lovely hardwood stock complete with brass butt disc (for indicating barrel bore size) and original cleaning-rod. This rifle cocks and dry-fires with a precise action, and can be fully field stripped, and has all matching serial numbers. Of interest is the scope mounts fitted, and the turned-down bolt handle relieved to clear telescopic sights. Deactivated in the UK with proofhouse certificate of deactivation.
