The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Picked this one off at Guns America. Should say I stole it actually. Cannot for life of me figure how this went totally unnoticed. I got pics from seller on the day before Easter. He told me his Reserve. So I bid it up to $280 and became high. Then Sunday night with one minute to go, I bid his Reserve
of $325. Bingo! That night he asked if I reload. Said yes. Well, got it about 3:30 today. There were 52 pieces of Norma Brass, partial box of Nosler Match Comp. Bullets, and a full box of Sierra 140 Match King bullets. There was a few bucks of stuff for free.
I am more than just happy with this one!!

Really nice rifle.

Pardon my newbie status, but what is it??

It is a Swedish M38 Mauser.

I got one like that stashed away, but that price wouldn't come close to it

What a great rifle, at a great deal. Congratulations.

Way to hi OO!

That's what I thought. But, if I listed it on GB, I might just double my cost. If you take off the value of the freebies he sent me my actual cost would go down to under $300. The Match Kings cost $30 to $33 per box. Probably $18 worth Nosler. Norma brass a good $1 each is $52. My shipping was $30. Total $355. Nor take off for the above items. Round down to perhaps $100. Means I got it for $255 if you look at it close.

Very nice!

Defiantly looks alot better there than in the photos you sent earlier, Sell it to Sheepie, give him something to drool over Of course for what you paid, I'd probably store it away for a while , and at least shoot it.

Makes me want to move mine up in the line of rifles to be cleaned and shot this spring, problem is all I have left is 1000 gallery loads to shoot in it.

Wow, what a beautiful rifle. The wood on the stock looks like what I have on my Hungarian and Polish M-44's. Makes me want to look at Mausers a little bit. OMG, is this what happens? Thought I was only stuck on Mosins I have more than a few Mosins. Am I destined to creating an armory?

Too much MilSurp porn

Get the Mauser, you know you need one

Am I going to have to moon you yet again

The Swedish Mauser is like a precision tool for punching holes in paper from great distance and having a quarter cover the holes.

OK, that's it, you've forced my hand or something...

Better get one while you can, these Swedish Mauser collectors will buy them all up if left to their own devices, I secured mine 23 years ago.
