ALFCarl Gustav Sweden.
The specific rifle is the Carl Gustav Fairfox 2000.
Do you have pics or give me some direction as to what animal we are dealing with here.
The Greeks ( EBO) also built Snipers on this action in the form of the Kefefs rifle.

ALFOk this the rifle I'm referring to:
It has a 3 lug rotating bolt and bolting is also via a slot in the rear for the bold handle
It relatively new in that production started around 1991
It's built in Sweden by FFE ( Forenade Fabriksverken Eskilstuna)
FFE was the result of the amalgamation of Husqvarna (HHV) which was privately owned and the Carl Gustav state firearms factory (CGSGF) which was state owned.
FFE builds a number of military arms under licence including Heckler and Koch rifles and the Galil Rifle from Isreal
The factory is located in Eskilstuna which is a industrial city known for steel production.
The Volvo heavy machine industry is also located here.
