I own 2 M96 Swedish Mausers. One is an 1899 Long rifle with no threads on the end of the barrel and the other is a 1910 short rifle that is threaded on the end of the barrel. Both are Carl Gustafs Swedes 6.5x55. I also like and own a 1943 Husqvarna 6.5x55 Swede. This Husky as they are sometimes called is threaded and does have a flash hider on it. You can find this rifle on Gunbroker. Good shape and bad shape. Ken
