Almost Hate to Say: Yardsale Swedish M38

[martin08]

You guys must be getting tired of this... $225 at a Yard Sale.

It's a fairly nice one, too. 1942 Husqvarna M38 Swedish Mauser Carbine.

Thanks for looking.

Wow I'm jealous. Congrats

He belongs on that show "Downeast Dickering" or whatever it's called. For real, who else finds P.08's and Swede Mausers and such at yard sales?!

 

[JuergenG]

Martin, you've developed a nose for such deals like a French hog for truffles. Congrats on this beauty!

 

[OldNorth]

Love these. What a find

I've only been to Massachusetts yard sales which are lame in comparison.

Here we go again; what happens in Maine stays in Maine.

Wow; rifles and chainsaws by the same company.

Nice X-Country bikes, too.

And it even had the cleaning rod at the sale, but I forgot to install it for pics. So here are a few more.

[warwickben]

Surely. Right after I buy it!

A little yard sale hint. If you don't see what you are looking for, then ask. This one was retrieved from the house.

 

[warwickben]

Hmmm good idea

I do it. I do not get as many as Martin. I have only picked up a nice Arisaka T38 with mum, bipod, and aircraft sights.

Going to flea marts over here I keep an eye out for tables with buck antlers etc.. This is often a sign of heirs selling off
a deceased hunter's stuff. Asking for the 'interesting things' sometimes leads to an off-site gun/ammo/accessories haul.

Where's the ban moderator? Jk nice score man

If this is what Maine yard sales are like, imagine what Maine gun shows are like!

 

[peteyb]

I hate you.



Just kidding, nice find! Everytime I see one of your threads all I think is that I have to be doing something wrong haha

 

[sweed]

I need a swedish mauser!!

 

[TC McQuade]

I'm jealous :/

I need a few Maine yard sales!!! Road trip here I go! LOL

Nice rifle at a great price! I'd expect that to be about $400 at a shop (I'd expect it to be $400, but it'd probably be $500+). Nice score.

The stock looks like it's elm, which is fairly rare. Handguard looks beech, but the straight grain on the stock looks like an elm Swede I once had.
