Looks like they are selling for around $700.00 at auction.
Sounds like a lot but if you try to buy just the sights to upgrade a mil-surp it will cost near half that. |

Though I'm getting it for $150.00 (about the UK price) they run around $500.00+ here in the US because they are hard to come by and also a antique. |

These might also be of interest to you. They are quite common in this country and well regarded. One of the military versions would be nice, but I expect they command a massive premium over the relatively affordable civilian model.
Norway also did calibre conversions on the K98 rifle, keeping them in original military configuration. Really nice shooters. |

Always wanted one but my regular mil. surp Swedes do so well I could never see the reason to buy one.

Speaking of Scandinavian target shooting, what do those people who use Norwegian Krags for the Stang and field speed shooting competitions use to reload quickly? Looks like a charger of some sort but I can never get a clear view when watching those competitions. |

Been looking for a good target .22. Fell in love with an older Kimber, but they are high dollar too. Ended up getting a Savage Mk II FVT.

Carry is may-issue, and almost non-existent. You can own virtually anything, but you have to give a "valid reason" for it. These reasons include hunting, target shooting, collecting, and memorabilia. Licences for full auto and handguns have to be renewed every five years. Firearms have to be stored in a approved safe. Since you have to give a reason for why you need a gun, it gets progressively more difficult the more guns you already have. Suppressors can be owned for some hunting rifles, but not all. Scary looking guns are banned for hunting, but sometimes they slip through anyway. |

Quoted: Today, I managed to get my hands on this thing just long enough to put a box of ammo through it- http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k620/Bassgasm1/Gun%20Stuff/1905SwedeMauser_zps56bf7b71.jpghttp://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k620/Bassgasm1/Gun%20Stuff/1905SwedeMausertop_zps0053873e.jpg I'm guessing this is a M1896 long rifle. I'm pretty impressed, even before taking into consideration that this is a 109 year old milsurp. The action was pretty smooth, and the trigger was good. I suppose the sights weren't my favorite, and I found it odd that the lowest distance marking is 300m, but they're still effective. Shooting conditions were very informal and less than ideal. I was shooting from a picnic table, and my target was a campaign sign. I was aiming at letters; I didn't have targets to attach to it. It was cold and gusty, and the sign was blowing a bit. I still managed to shoot holes touching and near touching groups. I don't know what kind of velocity I was getting from the 139gr PPU, but the recoil was very pleasant. View Quote |

I had one. Very attractive gun. Paid $800 OTD at a local shop, came with a shitload of brass and two very nice slings, along with a few other extras.
I sold it for the same not long after. Nice gun with very light recoil and seemed extremely accurate, but it just really wasn't my thing, and at the time finding 6.5 projectiles was like pulling teeth. There are apparently a lot of "fakes" floating around in the US of them. The normal "tell" for that seems to be a stepped barrel under the handguard instead of the heavier cg63 profile. |

Anything more obvious externally? There's not a lot of documentation but there are some helpful fellows here and on the C&R boards. The big problem I gathered with CG63s is that there are typical ones- your normal Carl Gustav reworks- and all manner of others, and even some modified by smaller companies and smiths, and so on. Mine for instance was on a husqvarna receiver, which was unusual but not incorrect, and some of them lack the rune on the receiver, which is also unusual but not incorrect, and some of them have one sort of sight and some the other and so on. There isn't a "correct" sight of course but I suppose somebody might try and throw some random diopters on a gussied up normal one anyway... mine were Soderin and I've also seen Elit, and I know there are other sights as well that are somewhat common on them. I was cautioned by several sources when I started looking into CG63s and they relayed hearing of standard swede mausers just tossed into CG63 wood and sold as such. It's pretty obvious to tell if you take the furniture off, of course- a big difference in a 63 barrel and a normal one. |

I did some searching, and I found myself reading a couple of Gunboards threads written by an apparently knowledgeable Swede. His English is a bit tough to read, but there's a lot of info.
Some info on the 63: The targetshooting-rifle Carl Gustaf 62 is a modernized version of Mauser-rifle m/96. The system of the receiver and the firing mechanism has been kept, while the barrel and stock have been changed.
The change of the barrel consist mainly of an alterated external dimension, which has been increased from a diameter of 17,5 mm to 19,0 mm as well as an alteration of twist lead from 200 to 220 mm. The stock, in which the barrel lies free, has been shaped in an modern way with a cheek-rest, a suitable curved pistol grip with a filling for the right hand, knurled cutting on both pistol-grip and fore-end and also provided with a hand-guard. The rest in the stock for recoil projection has been strengthened by a steel insertion and a through bolt. The only alteration to the Mauser-system are knurled underside of the trigger-guard, grooved trigger and all parts of the bolt black oxidized. The rear sight has been taken away and is assumed to be replaced by some type of diopter e.g. the Elit-diopter, the Söderin-diopter et.c. A shortened striking length has not been introduced as the saving of time obstained (abt. 2/1000 sec.) does not outweight the loss of the possibility to adjust the weight of trigger pull of a worn rifle to 1,7+-0,2kg., (the risk of a misfire requires an increased striking power at a shortened striking length). Data: Weight of rifle without sling and unloaded 4,3 kg Length of rifle (=G m/96) 1260 mm Length of barrel (= G m/96) 739 mm Lead of twist 220 mm Diameter beetwen the lands 6,51 mm Diameter between the grooves 6,73 mm Width of the lands 3,2 mm Weight of trigger pull (pressure point) 1,7+-0,2 kg Bolt and its parts black oxidized, straight bolt handle Trigger grooved Knurled underside of trigger guard Butt with cheek rest Pistol grip with filling for right hand Butt plate of bakelite View Quote For those who don't mind some reading- CG-63 thread: LINK CG-80 thread: LINK |
