For some reason I didn't even noticed the tigerstripes when I first saw her, but have come to appreciate it. I gave 200 to claim her my own. Now I just need to take some time at the range and have her...

Why did I sense you were going to ask that about her markings? She's shy and won't show all... Actually, I have not taken her down to her essentials. I'm not mechanically inclined and fear that if...

Hello lutsenswede, a beautiful rifle. Taking down a m/96 is not difficult, but the condition yours is in it may not need to be taken apart. Myself, I always take apart a new rifle to make sure there...

Tell her you could sell it right now today for $275-$300, and if you wait 5 years, I'm betting at least double that! Sell her on the investment aspects, altho' between me 'n you, I know that after you...

Ugh, underside rust!! Didn't think of that. Guess I'll have to look up a friend and make a project of inspecting her closer. Thanks for the tip.

I'll tell about you my first experience stripping a lady (Swede m96, that is!). NUMBER ONE: REMOVE THE CLEANING ROD! It can be very difficult depressing the band springs, even more so when the...

Bear, I'm no expert, but to my eye that bore looks better than most of my brothers' hunting rifles (bought in the last 10 years).Assuming one refrains from shooting screaming hot loads through these...
