Coup D'etat
Thought I'd share with Kracker, Stink and Tsubaki something I finally scored on. Though I know many others will appreciate it.
So for the past decade I have been searching the gun shows etc. for a pristine Swede Mauser 96 in 6.5 Swede. Many years ago the most accurate rifle I ever shot was one of these rifles. For those that don't know, on license from the German Mauser Co, the Swedes produced rifles with such high quality control, hand fitment, accuracy and reliability that they were the scourge of the Russians who went against a Nation of rifleman in the Scandinavian mountains and had their heads handed to them. Well today at a gun show in PA I found her. A 1920 Carl Gustaf production literally as new. Gorgeous. Wood, metal, bore immaculate. Best of all I talked the owner down to $320.00 Each hand fitted part is serial numbered and every part small and large match. Came home with a big smile on my face.

She wasn't my friend, very little use and excellent care. The bore is as shiny as a new out of the box Winchester.
About twelve years ago or so I went shooting and at the range met a gentleman shooting a gorgeous rifle. I struck up a conversation and he invited me to shoot a few rounds on her. Fixed sights, military ball ammo. One ragged hole at 50 yards, literally one hole. They had a four inch gong at the hundred yard range and I centered it four times in a row. The older Gent looked at me and said "You can shoot". I knew it was the rifle. Never shot like that before with a military gun. Told him so. He just smiled and said he does it once a month or so. See's someone who appreciates a great rifle and hands him a few rounds to try. It was a Carl Gustaf model 96. Not quite as nice a shape as this one but the trigger action etc were unbelievable. The trigger on mine is a two stage military but so smooth and precise you feel like a gunsmith spent a lot of time on it. Actually, that is what happened, in 1920, and his name is probably Sven. LOL
