Swedish Mauser m/96-38 Inconsistencies

I just picked up a Swedish m/96-38 and there are some aspects of the rifle that confuse me. I ask these questions having not handled an enormous number of them, but from reading The Swedish Mauser Rifles published by North Cape Publications.

This rifle was imported by Class Distributors in Swann, Vermont. The receiver was manufactured by Carl Gustafs in 1908. All the numbers match except for the magazine floor plate and the bolt stop, neither of which have serial numbers. That should mean that they were made by Husqvarna.

The rear sight is from an m/38, not an m/96-38.

Most oddly, the bolt has only one gas escape port, but according to the book, any rifle made after 1904 should have at least 2.

Does someone want to put this all together? I can't imagine an importer cobbled together a matching bolt from a pre-1905 rifle. None of the numbers look scrubbed. How about the rear sight? Has anyone ever seen a m/38 rear sight on a m/96-38? I can easily see anyone swapping out the magazine floor plate and bolt catch, though it seems odd with everything else matching.

Medium length vs long action..what am I missing.

As I understand it, the medium length action is becoming more popular or at least spoken about more.

The common reason I see for the medium length is a cartridge like a 6.5PRC etc.

The question I have is why not just build a long action?

Unless I’m missing it:

The mags are proprietary more or less (you can’t buy AI mags which are the standard)

It needs, special bottom metal

Most chassis designers do not have a inlet for many models

The bolt throw isnt much shorter than a long action.

It’s not a dual use action for competition like PRS where guys complain about bolt cycle time


In theory the long action can do everything a medium action but also do “long action stuff”

The long action already has mags, chassis, bottom metal galore…

Is it really so one can still shoot a regular short action length cartridge with out a different size mag?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just make a mag spacer kit for a long action than a whole new “system”

There are designers smarter than me so I prob don’t know the whole story.

Thanks

25 creedmoor neck tension help

Trying to determine which sizing die or neck bushing size to buy for my 25 cm.
Using alpha brass and a 21st century. 255 expander mandrel (actually its the black nitride turning arbor which is 2 thou under bullet diameter)
Right now with the Virgin alpha brass the mandrel just plops right into the case, while the .256 expander i also have will actually expand the neck but im not sure if I want to run 0.001 (or 0.0015 with spring back) yet. Maybe I will later once the rifle tells me what it likes.

But right now should I just go with the Virgin alpha brass neck tension the way it is? Seems like they are all pretty uniform but I don't have pin gauges and can't really trust my mitotoyo to that degree.

Also looking at the f class products 25 creedmoor sizing die in the 282 neck od for my sizer...is that going to be sufficient in giving me enough initial neck tension so I can then expand using the 2 thou mandrel? Or do I need to look at the SAC bushing die

Knife sharpening for dummies

I have never been especially good at sharpening knives. The only sharpeners I ever use are the pull through ceramic type but I don't think they put the best edge on pocket knives.

What's a simple system that will get your knife 8/10 sharp with minimal skill? I am considering just collecting all my pocket knifes and taking them to a local guy that charges $5 but that's kind of a headache.

SOLD Arken SH-4J GENII 6-24x50 BNIB

Brand new in the box, includes all the stuff that comes in there, plus the Arken throw lever I added. Scope, sunshade, bikini covers, stickers, cleaning cloth, battery, Arken throw lever. Sorry the sunshade's not in the pics but it IS included, and brand new, just like everything else. Reticle is the VPR (Christmas tree/precision one, not the hunter style), in MILs.

Second gen with the Japanese glass. I still have one of these on a gun but I'm spring cleaning over here. This is a great scope for the dough.

SOLD
