Hello, I'm an occasional visitor and rare poster to this forum, but I thought your post deserved a response. 150.00 for a Swedish 96 mauser in excellent condition is considered grand theft in many circles. They easily go for 3-4 times that much. They are known as one of the most accurate bolt action military rifles ever made. Remember the Swedes never went to war. They were mainly used for target shooting. I suspect the threaded muzzle was for some sort of recoil compensator. It is not uncommon in target competition to have a recoil compensator.
