My name is Rob. Long time military history junkie, few years military arms junkie. So far I have a Czech. VZ24, Mosin Nagant 91/30 and a SMLE. This is my first post.
I was looking at a beautiful 1942 Husq. Swedish M38 today and was wondering if I could get some info from those who know about a few things. It looked brand new. All matching S#'s, correct stampings and a great barrel. They wouldn't allow pictures however.
Two things made me wonder. The stock was beech but it was so pristine and seemed like it didn't have a finish on it. Maybe lightly oiled at most. Seemed after market. I didn't notice any stampings on it either but it did have that little disc with the cartridge conversions on it . The other thing was the rear sight only went up to 600m.
Any information would be very helpful. Thanks!
