| I have spotted a very nice, almost unissued, M96 Swede Mauser for sale for a very good price. It has one thing that has me stumped from buyin it. The barrel in front of the front sight is threaded. I have never seen this before and my "Bubba" red flags went up. Is this a feature on some of the Swedes? |

Quoted:
It's normal, there is a "bullet shredder" which looks like a flash hider for firing wooden bullets. This. Many M96 barrels are threaded for the bullet shredder. My 1899 Oberndorf was re-barreled at some point in its career by the arsenal, and the "new" barrel is threaded. |
