I just picked up a old Swede Mauser at the local GS, someone has sporterized it some. It's a carl Gustav 1903 and the serial is in the mid 17000's, the barrel is only 17.5 inches long too. It has a redfield peep and aperture but there is no indication of there ever being an open sight. I don't think it was cut down to 17'', and it has a walnut straight stock that has been refinished.
I'm just curious if it's a 94 or 96 and what kind of loads are safe to use in this rifle since it is around 100 years old. I figure it's perfect for my son as a beater deer rifle since it been sporterized already.
