Wife is on my --well you know what part of my anatomy she is on--about buying guns--so this was the last gasp before I take the pledge and climb on the wagon.

Got a trio of Swedes last week at an online auction as a last , final act of defiance

1942 Husqvarna M38

1942 Husqvarna M38 #2

1917 M96

Good choices... but I would've found 2 m/96 instead of 2 m/38. The m/96 is just more classy and has a lot more vintage ambience.. if ya know what I mean.

With the Ag42b, two m/38, one m/96..... you left out a m/94 carbine...? That probably would've been pushing it.

On the wagon Wagon

I hope I can type the is correctly with all the drool on my keyboard.
Looks like you did just fine with the last act of defiance. Buy your wife a nice ddiamond ring for Christmas then easse back off the wagon

You'll fall off it eventually! You shouldn't resist. Save your energy trying to find a way around the wife's scrutiny. It's your only hope.

Nice looking rifles CalFed!

Good luck with your futile endeavor. Nice rifles.

Those are some splendid looking Swedes you have there CalFed.


Ya Know, I don't think my wife minds my collecting a bit.

I have a couple of side jobs to pay for my guns. And I just give her my real job check.
Besides I figure the value of my guns just about doubles every 8 to 10 years...and that's one hell of a lot more than I can say about my 401K.

Although, I would regret cashing them in a lot more.

Good luck staying on the wagon Calfed! I just bought another m/96 from Allan, just 'cuz it has an intersting FSR stamp on the stock.

I just keep telling my wife that it beats investing in the stock market.

Gasp! If not Swedish rifles, then Finn rifles.....Gasp!

Pahtu.

..and a Modelo 1912 Chilean Mauser.

Figured I better make it worth the gasp, since it was the last one for a while.

I would have taken Dutchman's advice and gotten a Husqvarna m/96, but then again, I've been wanting that one for quite a while. Regardless, you seem to be going out with a bang!

 

[JIMMY C]

Great looking rifles. I too have a sweet spot for the Husqvarna M/38's

I bet you won't last through January before the next rifle calls out to you!!!

Would love to have a Husky M96--but I didn't see one at the auction.

I'm pretty well fixed for m96's and wanted to get a husky m38 before my better half moved in and closed me down.

There were several M/94's, but I was operating on a budget

re:

Sorry to hear that your'e getting on the wagon and going cold turkey from Swedish mausers, especially. I'm actually getting a 1905 vintage CG model 96 ready to sell sometime in January. I'm going to miss your buying potential!

You need to lie better.
