Guys, Im very sorry for an error on the action. It is a mauser M96 and not a 95 that I previously stated. I can also read a partial wording under one of the scope mounts. I think it says Husquvarna ?? Does this mean anything? Where they rebarreled they also hand engraved a few numbers inside in the area where the cartridge base would be, I think its the outside edge of the barrel chamber. Is there a reason for these numbers?
