ColoradoMatt"Idealstudsaren E.S. Z.M. Algen", marked Swedish sporting mauser rifles?
Does anyone have any information on Swedish sporting rifles marked "Idealstudsaren E.S. Z.M. Algen". I have located one, and I would like more information on it. Using Google translate, I believe that "Idealstudsaren" means "Ideal Rifle" in the Swedish language. Other than that, I have no other info. Thanks in advance.

Doc224/375I'm not a 100% on this , the one I saw had been made for a Swedish Arms inspector .
Manufactured at the Mauser Oberndorf factory Germany .
I believe it had something to do with Contract acceptance or some such thing .

That is correct. Also, does it say "Algen" or "Älgen"? I guess Algen is a town? If it says "Älgen" it is Swedish for "the moose".

KebcoI have a gun with the same wording and a moose head logo, means "Ideal Rifle for Moose" in Swedish. I suspect it was some ones idea of marketing for a old reworked military mauser.

That is what I suspected. I think it is a cool rifle anyway. Thanks for your input.

KebcoI agree, I also thought it was cool. However my collection of "cool" guns I will never fire has increased to the point that some need to go, this being one. Simpsons want $700 for there's, I'll take $350 for mine if the buyer promises to give it a good home.

Ken,
If yours looks as good as Simpsons, or is even close, I'll take it.
