I found some 155 grain Swede Army bullets

feeds@yuku.com (RGRWJB) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:20:24 GMT

I found someone that had, hand pulled some of the old 155gr round nose cupro nickel bullets from some old Swede Mauser bullets. I have shot these bullets before and if the right load is obtained the are VERY accurate bullets. I picked them up cheap and will be loading them into the large amount of once fired Lapua 6.5 Swede brass that was sent to me from Finland.

Cases smaller after firing. Huh? (6.5x55 AG42b)

So I tried 20 of my new loads this afternoon and the brass shrank from .010 to .015. All the brass was brand new Winchester 6.5x55 trimmed to 2.155 before loading.

After firing the brass is now 2.140 to 2.145.

I have not seen that happen before, not in a rifle. I've heard of .45ACP doing silly things like shrinking. But a rifle round? Come on. This Ljungman just keeps getting weirder. It's a real joy to shoot. Got a nice couple of groups with the load of
37.8g...

Swedish percussion musket 1851

feeds@yuku.com (Pekka) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 03:18:49 GMT

Hello and greetings from Finland

I found Swedish percussion rifled musket, having H and 1851 stamped on lock, otherwise in nice condition but some former owner has shortened the stock and removed the first barrel band. I would like to restore it so does anyone know a source for first (from muzzle) brass barrel band?

a question?

I recently got a 96 swede in fine shape made in 1917. It was missing the ladder rear sight and the rear receicer bridge is tapped with 4 screw holes. two large ones that are countersunk abd there are two smaller ones I figure this was one of the ones converted to a match use. any ideas.

New rifles always cheer me up...

Well, I went back to the gunshop where I had recently purchased an Enfield P 14 sniper and an Enfield #4 mk 1 sniper, both proper, original and matching, and there was a nice Model 96 sniper just going up on the rack. So I had them put a hold on it, ran home and meditated in my office for a while. It was the nice Springfield
03-A3 with the "C" stock that had to be sacrificed, so I went back with the Springfield and came home $400 lighter with a lovely M 41 B Swedish sniper, all...

light bullets in 6,5X55

feeds@yuku.com (3delta) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:32:11 GMT

I just ordered a M38 from Samco. I have several boxes of 6.5 bullets ranging from 140 gr. Hornady BT's to 85 grain Sierras.

I know the 140 grains bullets will shoot well but I was wondering about the lighter bullets.

Sniper Rifle M41B

feeds@yuku.com (fibble303) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:27:51 GMT

Does any of you have the details of what should be shown onthe stock diskk of the M 41B sniper rifle. Most of the information I have read indicates that these should have a two hole disk with 'G m41B' on it. I am not sure if the disk should be in Aluminiuum or Brass and then if these where stamped or electric pencilled. If any of you could post a photo of any you have this would be much appreciated

On the topic of another little Swede...

I am the happy owner of a Model 96 Skyttervorbund (I have no idea how to spell it), a shooting club target rifle with a Elit diopter sight set and an interesting detachable pistol grip. It is in beautiful condition, was obviously treasured by the previous owner. Also a Model 94 carbine, which I have wanted since I was about 12 and reading American Rifleman where they were $19.95... Oh well,
that was a lot for a twelve year old back then. But the reason I am writing is that I just got a...

new Swede owner

I just bought a M-96 with a matching bolt, dark bore and a nice crown (no threads). The stock is lightly sanded with a semi-gloss wood finish(shelac(?) and 90% blue along with a sling. There is a tag on the stock, but I don't know what the numbers mean. I paid $200 (the starting bid), and I thought it was cheap even thought the stock was sanded.
Can I restore the stock (remove the finish and replace with BLO or tung oil), replace the stock or just leave well enough alone?

Thanx Dante'
