Thought some here might find this of interest. http://www.gunsinternational.c...cfm?gun_id=100143347 Gorgeous rifle, I'd be tempted if I didn't have a 7x57 already in the works. Doug | ||

Link says it is a sweede model 96 Looks like a large ring though. Anybody know what exactly we are looking at? | |||

I have to say that the light colour of the stock is not my idea of spectacular, although the design and execution of them are. Its just that I prefer a bit darker colour. Von Gruff. | |||

I'll bet you're seeing a Swede with its left side cut thinner like a G.33/40. Really sets it off and provides a very attractive transition line into the cutout and bolt stop box area. I like it A LOT! Regards, Joe __________________________ You can lead a human to logic but you can't make him think. NRA Life since 1976. God bless America! | |||

J.D. That makes sense. Like the cuts on a g33/40 that make it look like a large-ring. Similar to what TC1 had done to his mini-mauser. | |||

Well let me show my ignorance here. What is the purpose of the large semicircular cut on the left side of the receiver? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Some say it's for stripper clip loading, some say it's for gas escape/relief. Paul Mauser said it was for gas escape but IMO he also located it there at the rear so that the clip loading was made easier.

Joe, I think you are probably right on both counts with the location being a secondary consideration. Somewhere I saw his patent with the explanation of the cutout. From MP perhaps? Art | |||

Very nice rifle and priced fairly at about what it would cost for the stock work alone today! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

It's clearance for the tip of your thumb when loading with a stripper clip. "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading". | |||
