8/2/24 – This is an excellent example of the rare Swedish M41 sniper rifle as made by Carl Gustafs. There were only ~5,300 of these ever produced with the German-style side rail mount and AGA 3×65 M/42 scope, and this is the first we have offered. In 1940, the Swedish military realized it had a need for scoped sniper rifles but had none of the production in place, so they ordered the scopes and short rail type mounts from the Germans before the Germans realized they needed them all for their own military. They were built on existing Swedish rifles that had already previously shown particularly good accuracy, and in 1955, Sweden upgraded all of the rifles to feature the same characteristics (numbered mounts, AJACK scopes only, and peened screws). This is the more rare M/41 variant that was not upgraded to an Ajack scope. All numbered parts on this rifle match, and the original bluing is in very good condition overall with minor wear on the bands/muzzle. The scope has fairly clear optics but is slightly cloudy overall and there is a ding in the metal on the rear of it. Bore has strong rifling but notably heavy frost throughout. Comes with an original sling and cleaning rod, though the rod is mismatched. The stock has not been sanded and has the disc intact with visible Swedish crown proofs. Various dings throughout but no cracks.
