First of all , if you are using the Bowser or the Kehaya & Poyer books on Swedish mausers , they are both full of errors & not worth the paper they are printed on . The only book worth buying is " Crown Jewels - the Mauser in Sweden " by Dana Jones .

The Swedes kept their mauser rifles with matching numbers well past WW2 . Afterwards , it was not so important to keep the numbered small parts matching . Just a mater of recycling used & discarded parts . Some had numbers ground off & renumbered to match , while others had numbers overstamped . We see many recently imported Swedish mausers with mismatched small parts . The Snipers reflect this same procedure with mismatched small parts . This does not change the accuracy of a rifle . You will also see replaced stocks on snipers . Some new & some recycled by renumbering to match . No doubt fine tuned on the firing range . The Ajack scopes are estimated at 4,000 units , judging by the serial numbers . We believe numbered 1 through 4,000 . That is the reason for this thread . Obviously , you could not match these scopes to the first 4,000 Swedish mausers made . So , the scopes NEVER match anything !!!!!! The snipers were picked a random for ACCURACY , regardless of date on the receiver , manufacturer or serial number . The M41b snipers should have at least the scope mount & base matching the receiver , barrel , all bolt parts & scope can . Having matching wood & buttplate is a plus ! . There are all matching snipers around , as it appears they are hold overs from the earlier time period . Usually not in as nice of condition . ( cleaning rods seldom match on most Swedish mausers of any model number ) .

Any more questions , just ask ?
