I've been collecting Swedish Firearms for some time. For me it was an easy draw, my "heritage" and quality guns. How could I lose? I recently came into two rifles that are very unique.
The bolt action is a 1944 Husqvarna Model 38 Mauser. These were only produced for 4 short years (1941-1944), with 44' being the fewest in numbers. This example is as new and really I couldn't believe it when it arrived. The photos didn't do it justice which is why I feel it slipped through so many's radar. I'm extremely happy it did!
The semi should need no introduction, AG-42B Ljungman. This rifle I stumbled on at a local show as I was just on my way out, the seller was walking in. I have owned a good number of these rifles and love shooting them. They are super long and really are a dream to shoot in the prone position having very little recoil. This example is one for the safe and collecting side. It's the rare and mysterious 1955 year. Not much is know about these or why they were assembled 10 years post original production stopped. Most speculate they were assembled from parts left behind after the tooling was sold and sent to Egypt which produced the Hakim. I have heard they were meant for Egypt in that deal, but no markings indicate that? They are the last of the rifles lineage. No number is known on totals, but I have seen serial numbers counting just over a 100.
