Picked this up Thursday, non import marked, non refurbed. Swedish scope is crystal clear.

Nice, great pickup, good job on the pics!!

Thank you. Has the proper ramrod, I forgot to put it on before taking the pictures.

Nice rifle, thanks for those pics. That M41 rifle is still in its WWII configuration. Most were updated in 1955 to the "B" version (M41B), so its rare to see them like that one. Neat. I think you just need to add a vintage leather Swedish sling to it, and it will be complete.

Unfortunate thing about those is that because the air never moves in Sweden they build shit without accommodation for windage adjustments.

You bring it over here with our screwed up air that moves and you find you get a sweet crystal clear image holding to the left or right of what you are trying to hit.

Thank you. You are correct on the “B” and they had the German AJAX scope. I agree on the sling.

Yes! The front ring is for distance and the rear is a focus ring. It’ll still be fun!

Really cool, and the pumpkin bipod is a nice touch, lol

Oh man, it's 105 years old, surely something so old can't possibly still be deadly accurate!!

Just kidding, she's a real beauty!!!

Looks like she escaped the 1955 rebuilding program? Sweet! Nice find.

Nice you have the stock disc, and the measurements on that look great.

Do the bottom metal and barrel rings still match the receiver?

Seems like those parts almost always got switched in the post-WWII rebuild program...

Math! Math! It's 115 years old...

Super nice rifle.

There is some "windage" in the mount.

Unsure if you shim or just adjust screws to get a good 0 wind at the distance you choose.

Couple years ago shooter near me was tring to accomodate the really off wind on his new to him Swede......it was a beautiful rifle.

Very nice Swede sir, an M41 still eludes me at this time.

I’d rather not say, got it from a very good friend. But it was very reasonable!

 

[GrumpyOleFart]

That's okay.
I was a bit cheeky to ask.
A very nice score.
