Swedish M38
Swedish M38
A guy wants to trade me a Swedish M38 for one of my non milsups. He's saying the gun is in good shape with a good bore and values it at $500 bucks.
Anyone an expert on these guns?

I would do it if numbers match. Disk says bore rated at 1 which is best

Re: Swedish M38
I did it, I traded for a non milsurp 9mm carbine plus he's throwing me some cash. S/N is 600187 which is pretty cool considering production started at 600000 according to what I read online.

Nice.
Milarm has one but it's a 1915 m96 cut down to m38.Price tag said $569.

Re: Swedish M38
I just traded a 29 Tula for a 96/38, but that was a great trade for me. The Husqvarna m38s don't pop up often here and have been bringing somewhere in the 375 and up range

Re: Swedish M38
Actually 1 is second best, no stamp indicates like new barrell, 1 indicates very minor corrosion. The number on the disk that's really sweet is the stamp over the 9 which means the bore was measured at 6.49 which is very tight. Husqvarna m38s are gaining value every day, they are quite desirable.desdem12 wrote:I would do it if numbers match. Disk says bore rated at 1 which is best
Bore disks are to be taken with a grain of salt. No telling how many rounds have gone through it since the armorers checked the bore and an unscrupulous seller can easily change it out.
Please remove the muzzle brake as they are strictly aftermarket.
Real gun control is the ability to hit the target.

The Swedish collectors can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 1941's are difficult to come by. Congrats!
Re: Swedish M38
It is in the box at the post office on its way to me. Quite happy about this one because it truly happened out of the blue. Traded my JR Carbine in 9mm and the guy threw in some cash as well. Can't wait for it to arrive. The low sn sealed the deal. 600187 so it is the 187th gun made in 1941 if my information is correct?

Re: Swedish M38
When it comes to Husqvarna m38s 1941 is the second most common year with 28,672 made that year. 1944 is the tough one, only 1969 made that year. One of them is mine.TulaTom wrote:The Swedish collectors can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 1941's are difficult to come by. Congrats!

Re: Swedish M38
That's why we have Swedish Mauser experts. I thought 42 and 43 Husqvarnas were more common than 41's. I stand corrected. I knew 44's were the most uncommon.
Re: Swedish M38
The '41's are more difficult to come by regardless of how many were made. I suspect this is because it was the first year of full M-38 production at Husqvarna. Also, my data shows that 8435 were made in 1944. If I am incorrect please provide me your reference for 1969 produced.
Re: Swedish M38
My reference is Crown Jewels, The Mauser in Sweden by Dana Jones, the bible of Swedish Mauser collectors, page 148. You may also go to this link for a list of known serial numbers in the United States.
