Blind pig finds yet another apple!
Just bought a 1929 M96 from a friend and fellow collector! I don't have it yet, but will be a good one to throw on the pile.
GOOD RIDDANCE LGR!! If there isn't a gun range in heaven, then I'm going to hell.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

A 1929 Swedish Mauser M96? If so, that is truly a rare bird.

Do they even exist?
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Pramm. This was was first manufactured in the early 1940s and immediately preceeded the Söderin. It is fairly common.

Re: Blind pig finds yet another apple!
Well isn't that worth the wait? Very nice. The Swedes sure did some nice things with their sights.
