well I don;t know a lot about them as I am still learning but I can tell you that the bolt and bolt release are not original to the rifle. every single piece on swedes have a serial number that matches the last 3 of the rifle serial number. the bolt is all taken from another rifle and the bolt release came from somewhere else. it looks like it's in decent enough condition and the swedish mausers were not prone to the same failures as early springfields but something looks off to me.

someone will come along with a lot more knowledge than I though so good luck with the search.
