You were
sporterising actual complete rifles?!?! I thought the story on these was that the Swedes sold off their spare actions and odd target rifles for conversion, not the
collectible full stocked military variants. You had best go into hiding before the Swede Mauser Collecting Mafia track you down.
I have tried to snag one of these conversions at auction but they always fetch too much money for my wallet.
