Wapinschaw Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 1942 6.5 X 55 Swedish Husqvarna built M38 carbine, verified by serial number 640690 and Gustaf Bjorkenstam’s inspection stamp on the rear sight base. All matching serial numbers except bayonet. Accumounts USA reproduction of short side rail scope mount as fitted to Singapore and Norwegian Police rifles. Schmidt and Bender 4 x 36 scope which has some cosmetic wear marks, optics are excellent. Barrel bore, accuracy and overall condition very good with some minor wood scrapes and scratches commensurate with age. This is a light, handy and accurate little rifle. I am only selling because a shoulder injury combined with a couple of medical conditions getting worse mean that I need to reduce exposure to recoil.

Wapinschaw Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks for the comments Jon. I have to agree that the leather work is very functional and does indeed compliment it very well.

The leatherwork really sets it off too 😋 There is also the option of a fixed bayonet should the stalking get a bit hectic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wapinschaw Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 When the RFD are open again I will be looking for a Tikka T1 in .22 with a 20 inch barrel and a GRS Bifrost stock. Anyone interested in a deal with the M38? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav61 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd be interested if you would consider selling the sling separately? PM if you will consider it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wapinschaw Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Bump for the start of lockdown easing, let's hope we are starting to see a return to normality. I will be looking for a Tikka T1 in .22 with 20" barrel and possibly a Bifrost stock once normality is reestablished, any interest in a deal?
