1914 M38. All numbers matching including the rear sight. 6.5×55 Excellent bore and a fine shooter. One of my favorite rifles.

Even back in the day, rifles like this with the upgraded rear sight were not so common. Excellent on target results! Sincerely. bruce.

A nice accurate rifle. There is nothing not to like about Swedish Mausers!

I don't always shoot accurately, but when I want to, I choose my Swedish Mauser...keep shooting my friends!

Yup, especially with the sight being numbered to the rifle. Very rare. I have been told only the first few were numbered as such.

And Thanks! This thing is always on target as long as I am. Lol

I shoot my 1942 Husqvarna M38 better than any of my military bolt guns. Would love to find a diopter rear sight for it.
