My best Swede is needy

Post by locomotiveguy »

I bought this on gunbroker and had to pay for it twice but got a refund later. I have $468 in it. It is one of the shooting club models, sold to gun club members at cost with the condition that it be returned probably in person if a national emergency arose. It is not import marked, has about 95%bluing,no threaded muzzle the optional pistol grip, sling, diopter sight and globe front with a vision limiter in the diopter, Bore is bright, the stock badge gives a clean bill of health and the only thing it needs is the sheet metal ballistic chart on the butt stock. If you have any ideas how to find the ballistic chart my search has begun..

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Mine originally had the metal tag, as the nail holes are still there, but it came with a decal.

A military range plate would be incorrect for an FSR rifle. Pramm made some for the civilian market that are quite rare but I did see one on eBay once. It brought big money.
Real gun control is the ability to hit the target.
