A friend who recently bought a Swedish model 1896 6.5mm rifle (from the days when nations sent their troops to war with arms that almost put civilian arms to shame) told me that the average Swede is allowed no more than four rifles...and many who wish to upgrade to more modern boomsticks have been handing in older rifles like their 1896 Mausers.

Fortunately, many of them have made their way to friendlier nations such as the US.

Ya, I just looked, hoping to see a repeat of the SKS flood of the 1990's.

These damned things are 500-2500!!!!

Probably worth every penny... but will we never again see boxes of surplus military rifles for 5-for-200?

Just imagine Sen. Diane Feinstein introducing a bill that says “You don’t NEEEEED more than four rifles!!!” and see how far that gets!
