Show me your Swedes!

Helga born in 1916 and still lookin good ;-)

Heres my 1916 Carl Gustav, I've left the others cleaned up tricked out, without changing the appearance much, but the 1894 carbines having dried up around here long ago, I wanted an 18" Swede to hunt with. I had the bolt handle replaced, a redfield 1 piece mount installed, since have topped it with a 4X BSA scope, polished the innards, lapped the lugs, glass bedded the barrel and action, and feed it on a diet of win 785, (supply dwindling anyone know where there is a some left?) and 140 gr Remington spire points. federal standard large rifle primers in winchester cases, and she will consistently group inti 1-1/2 in or less depending on the operators ability that day. I am looking for a 94 end cap, and would like to find a 94 stock, any leads ? Also I need a front sight (lost during the mod). I love my faux 94 but would like to find a real one if anyone knows of one for sale.http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=67177&stc=1&d=1194971254

LOL

Mine shootenkammeraden and I are foaming at the mouth raving sweede fanatics, if you're crazy maybe they will throw us all in the same padded gunsafe and we only need a 4th for poker between trips to the range.

Sounds like me, seems as though I cannot get enough Swedes, or the Swiss for that matter. Nothing else in the relm of milsurps matters.

I got mine at http://www.empirearms.com

Prices have gone up, apparently, but I got a very nice one!

A little late to the party here.

This swede was a project my grandfather started. After he died I found most of the pieces in is his shop, but there was some work left to do.

He had already rebarreled the rifle with a Douglas barrel, still in 6.5x55SE, bent the bolt handle, cut the bolt for the cock-on-open conversion, & drilled and tapped it for the weaver style mounts.

I finished it by milling the bolt shroud for the model 70-style safety, installing the Timney trigger, inletting the stock, and mounting the scope.

Grandad had another stock for it, an old Herter's, but it's a little heavy and fat in the wrist for me; so I set it aside and got a synthetic one for working purposes.

1899 Carl Gustafs I just got recently. Clean, tigered, matching except for the handguard, and yet I paid well less than $300 on Gunbroker, so I'm double plus happy.

Vaarok, no matter which forum I find you posing in (Here, TGT, or facebook), you make me jealous, you rat bastard.

What the heck?
I can't get photos to work anymore,,, even though I deleted all my old ones and have cut this one down pretty small.

Cant post a pic right now, Im at work. I have a Carl Gustav M96 , all matching numbers; from 1906. Great rifle, extremely accurate. I will be looking to get another soon.

 

[dirtyjim]

this one is a 1900 cg m96. everything but the tiger striped stock matches.
the crown was also dammaged so the barrel has been shortened about 1/2", i may move the front sight back by the same amount so its not as noticable

Got it out, that is, my CG-63. I was wrong, it has the Elit sight instead of the other. For those of you "Crazy Swede Fanatics" near or in the DFW, Texas area, Military Gun Supply went a bit nuts themselves and they have a whole mess of various Swedes, around 50, I would estimate. Those consist of mostly M-96's, CG-63's, and CG-80's. They are in various states and configurations. Most of the M-96's are modified in some way and have the stock disk removed, with various finishes, stock and sight configurations. Only one of the CG-63's I saw had the Stock pieces added to the forestock. The barrels of both the -63's and -80's are of various configurations. I was working near there Saturday, and only had about 10 minutes to take it all in. Anyway, here's my CG-63, I haven't got it to a range, but a few surplus rounds in the back yard, And it shoots SWEET!
