Well it finally happened.

I was at a yard sale today and bought an ol military rifle. It's a Swedish Mauser. Dated 1910 on the receiver ring and is or seems to be all matching numbers. This thing is in exc condition. Paid a bit much(150 bucks) but got 6 boxes of Norma ammo and a couple boxes of some surplus ammo. Bore is really good and since I don't really mess with military stuff too much..wondering why the darn thing is threaded at the end of the bbl. Any hints from you military guys?? Thing has a fairly long bbl of about 24 inches although that is a guess as I haven't even measured it yet. Gonna have to shoot it before it goes down the road. Them Swedes took care of their equipment.. I'll try to take a pic before I sell it..
