I would have to say at $250 it's already been discount priced for a "minor" stock blemish.
The factory bent bolt M38 rifles bring a little more $.

I think he was suggesting that that the OP pass on the deal so that he could scoop it up. In a good natured non-serious way of course, that I cannot identify with.

My wife was pulling me out the door and did not get a chance to put a smiley. Sent OP a PM. I might be interested if I he change his mind

I think I have a spare Swedish Mauser sling if you need it. $5

many swedish mausers were later surplused out to target shooting clubs and such.
thats usually where those tags originate from.
normally id suggest keeping it, but that one is already all tore up so id remove it.

thanks. i'd like one. this rifle didn't come with the sling.
i came across a 1943 Husky today that was sporterized. the owner modified the follower (filed down the trailing edge) so the bolt will close when the mag is empty. he also cut out part of the stock for a cheek rest...that didn't look so good. otherwise, had all matching parts and was in good shape. price was $350.
I like my original better....

my thoughts exactly. the sporter stock was pretty nice with strong grain and checkering without any damage. the cutout wasn't. the rest of the gun was in great shape.

thats looks great i think you got a great deal.
Samco sells a bunch of accessories for these, you can get a new box of stripper clips, slings and bayonets, cleaning rods, cleaning accessories, front sight protectors, muzzle attachments, brass catcher etc.

samco is very slow, but you will get your stuff.

Does anyone have any experience with the commercially available ammo (found some Fiocchi, Partizan, and Remington)?
I was happy with this Prvi ammo in my 1902 Carl Gustaf:

if this is making anyone else crave a swede, or if the OP would klike a rifle to go with that carbine, there is one up for sale in the "depot" section for a decent price.

I've had excellent results from every commercial 139/140 gr ammo I've found. Every brand shot well. Fed, Win, Rem, Fiocchi, Norma. The 139 gr Norma I had shot the best of all, but at that time (early 90s) it was also $2.50/round.

About that time I stocked up on a lifetime supply of Norma 139 gr PPC at $14.00 per box. A distibutor was closing out their Norma ammo line. Still have about ten cases left as that should keep me in venison and/or other larger meat for the rest of my life

WOW!!
I sure missed out on that one.
At that price, I would have bought all I could too.

It's not Norma but new production 139 gr soft point ammo is only $13.50 per box now

Short answer : Buy it .
#1 shooting/ handloading partner has one he purchased from mutual ( his coworker, I occasional correspond) . My friend went to a taller front sight as he wanted 100yd zero capability, origional sight can be replaced if desired.
Days of pentiful cheap ammo are gone. But it is a great ctg to handload, with excellent performance & modest recoil. If I weren't as sold on 7x57 for same purpose, I'd be kicking myself for not having one.

The prvi partizan isn't bad at all but it doesn't have the SUPER penetrating capabilities of the Norma 139 PPC. I would use that Norma factory load on large (deer are medium size game to me) game such as western bull elk, moose, and boo out to 300+ yards with the confidence of a one shot kill with a well placed shot.
