I snoozed and I might have lost. I see SAMCO has dried up on the Swedish Mausers. Anyone know of another source? Like to get one before they are all gone. I never guessed they'd sell out like that.

Check with SARCO www.sarcoinc.com. They are getting a few model 96s newly imported and several target models if you have the money and are so inclined.

Check Autionarms.com. I have seen a lot of them go fairly cheap, matter of fact, one today, a 1917 model 96 went for $156. According to the picture the gun looked fairly good, a few small dings in the stock, the usual wear on metal surfaces. Numbers matched. Based on what I have seen, that was a very good buy.

:roll: I was planning on biding near the close, but my wife took me out to dinner and I missed it. :cry:

I got several of my M96s in 6.5x55 at gun shows in Montreal and Toronto. I would think your gun shows would be a good bet for locating them. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.

Thanks fellas. I'll check the sites out when I get some time. My local shows are a total rip off, but I may just go to the next one in hopes of finding something.

SAMCO has mismatched barrelled actions left, thats all.

Darn it.

The only thing that samco had in the past as far as matching was "the bolt to reciever matched" that was it for the past few years. If the bolt is miss matched now as long as the headspace is good your ok. My favorite swede M96 shooter has no number on the bolt but the headspace is ok and she shoots great. In the past 5 years I have only seen one swede that you can say was "ALL MATCHING NUMBERS" all the metal and wood numbers matched the serial number on the reciever and it had a range plate too. I have heard of "all matching numbers" but never seen one before this one even the stock and handguard is numbered to the reciever too. All the others just seem to have matching bolt and reciever numbers. I guess when they rebuilt/rearsenaled them they mixed some of them up or these were assembled from parts thats why just the bolt matches the recievers. I did build a few from samco's barreled actions too. There hasn't been too many swede's around lately.
