The rifle is still in original military condition. I also mis spoke about the bbl length. It is the 29.6 inch one. I did a little checkin around and what Adam said about the threaded bbl was correct. It was for a bullet shredder for the wooden training rounds..so the guys couldn't put splinters in their officers. LOL. Looked in the vault for a bit and came up with a stripper clip loaded with those same wooden bullets. Always wondered what they fit. This is the 2nd Carl Gustaf I have now. The other one is a Carl Gustaf Model 1940. This rifle has Carl Gustafs Stads Gevarsfactori 1910 on the receiver ring... Has caartouches all over the place..stock included.. Seems to be all matching numbers... Guy is giving me the bayonet and scabbard too.
