The information I share is intended to inform and support members of our community to research certain products and encourage good maintenance practices to ensure safety and longevity for their firearms.
Swedish Mauser M38 Carl Gustafs full disassembly and reassembly video.
The battery died so had to reshoot and then i noticed the camera had slipped, but wasn't doing it again - so the last couple of minutes aren't great visually ;D.
Quick reference:
bolt removal 4:25
Remove receiver/barrel from stock 5:30
Remove magazine plate & follower 7:53
Remove bolt stop & trigger 11:33
Disassemble bolt 16:25
Reassembly starts 22:30
Great Video! Just picked my first m38 up and It is a beautiful rifle. The Swedish definitely knew what they were doing when it came to building quality battle rifles.
It's amazing the level of quality you can maintain when you never have to rush production to fight a war 😆.
@@UKgunmaintenance I just got one of these rifles from a friend who never used it. They never fired or maintained the rifle so is got some rusty areas. Do you have a contact person or place that can do a restoration of the bolt and parts for this rifle? Any support or feedback if greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.
@@jv8gas304 are you in the UK? If it's mild rust on the outside, I'd try Napier oil and 0000 steel wool before spending money. I bought mine from Kirk at BySwordandMusket, he does a lot of his own work to polish and restore so might be worth giving him a call?
@@UKgunmaintenance no sir, i live in the US. The rifle has some rust but I would likr for him to check out all the parts to see if there is anything he can recommend for it. By any chance does Kirk have a phone number or website where I can make contact with him?
@@jv8gas304 ah no he's based in the UK. Might be problematic shipping it over here for a bit of polishing 😉😂.
Excellent video. Many thanks!
The Swedish armorers set the trigger pull weight using a green banana. If it squished the banana, it was too heavy.
A great video, but that is a M96/38.
I own a M38, and they were made between 1938 and 1944 by Husqvarna and were made with a bent bolt handle.
Carl Gustav rearsenaled the best M96 to the new M38 pattern
You are correct!
I have two of them. One was a Swedish rifle team. Came from the armory with the front globe and the rear peep adjustable for windage and elevation. Curly beautiful wood. Riffing is like a mirror.
Mine is a generation Older and YEARS since I have tore it down 100% Thanks forthe Tune Up! She is On the Bench Now!
I was thinking about salts bluing her and re work her wood, But "I Think!" Just a Good OLD FASHIONED CLEANING on the gun parts with some good ole TLC on her Wood!
I love History to much to change her.
Brownells might have parts availability good luck in your search
thanks ! I was just given one of these m38s never saw one had no idea what was what ! it is sort of sporterized ! I want to get an original stock and restore it somewhat , and get a bayonet ,sheath ,find some stripper and ammo pouches !
the information on this rifle says it is a very flat shooter !!! I my use it for hunting deer and small game !
thank again for the information , I have no manual or other information on it ! 1904 M 38 Carl Gustafs
Great video!
You ever here of having to pull back on the firing pin assembly about .05 in order to get the safety to engage, it’s always stuck in the firing position. 1943 M38
Mine would go into safe, but if I wanted to throw it 180 to lock the bolt into position, I'd have to pull on the cocking piece just as you said. Seemingly the only poorly designed part on the whole gun!
I did wonder whether it was down to the cocking piece being Husqvarna and the bolt body being Gustafs (I can't remember exactly which bit was which and no longer have this rifle to check).
Most all bolt actions were based on Mauser design many had to pay Royalties to Mauser
6.5 × 55.. (accurate rifles) I have a Belgian 7 × 57 it is a tack driver.
Apakah bisa di kirimkan ke indonesia secara terpisah???
Are you from Sweden
Are you still looking for spare Original firing pins? I have some
Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I sold the rifle (with much regret now).
Wow... sorry to hear
Same rifle but mines made in 1900
Very bold claim that the British rifle shoots better... I think you have to prove that!
I've since changed my mind on that one. Just needed more practice with the notch and barleycorn sights 😅
@@UKgunmaintenance Aha, I was hoping for a comparison video... :)
