Hey all!
I wanted to share that I acquired a sporterized Husqvarna M38 in 6.5x55 Swede.
I hope she is a tack driver, since most Swedish military rifles are, and have been for me.
When I got it home, I inspected it thoroughly, and found 3 issues with it. #1) Action screws were loose. #2) Focus piece on the old Weaver scope was severely loose, and at one time probably came off, and the nitrogen gas inside more than likely wasn’t there any more. #3) The scope rings weren’t tight enough. The screws were somewhat loose when I changed the scope out. #4) The follower in the rifle wasn’t operating, and jammed. How it was, I don’t know? I remedied all of the problems within 15 minutes!
The things that I saw during inspection that I liked were; clean, and shiny bore, trigger has been worked down to about a 3 lb pull. No rust or pitting, whatsoever.
I don’t know about y’all, but I hope that everyone here checks the things I do, and I hope y’all don’t go selling your rifles due to not checking what I do when I first get them in my hands.
