That's a nice rifle! I enjoyed the stickers, too, but it made me wonder
why he would have them if their firearm laws are so liberal.

If I remember correctly it was a Mauser my dad's friend had when I was little.
It was supposed to be a sniper rifle with an 1100 yard killing range. As I was
told it had offsetting gas pistons inside to compensate for kick. It was larger
than the weapons this guy had and very light colored, not the usual darker
colors of steel and wood but that's all I remember about it.

Tim, I have been reading all about this rifle. I have come to the
conclusion that it is a baaaad rifle. Saying that, I would recommend
you get rid of it as soon as possible. Living in the PRK where you
could get $100 for turning it in to the local police department, I'm
willing to give you $125 for it and I'll even pay for the shipping. I
will then turn it in for you.
Let me know if this arrangement is satisfactory for you.

Beautiful rifle Tim!
I like the concept that any potential robbers absolutely KNOW that the home
owner is armed and knows how to shoot. Great deterant.
Would work well here except for druggies. But they are at the mercy of thier
own stupidity.

That's a fine piece, but outdated, making it weak, short-range, and
inaccurate.
Relatively speaking, of course. But this is the 21st Century.
Get yourself a Barrett M82A1.
You won't regret it.
Sweeeeeeet.
And use good ear plugs and muffs. Both.

Too much fire power! That is unless I want to shoot though brick
buildings, besides I don't think they sling very well.

Nice rifle though.

The Ljungman is such a fine rifle with one of the most fantastically
ingenious loading systems I've seen. almost no kick. with the
exception of the obviously different ballistics I'd put it up against
an M-1 Garrand or M1-A1 varient any day. an AR15 is a great rifle but
for the longer accuracy the Ljungman takes it hands down.


The Egyptians tried to copy the Ljungman with the Hakim but chambered
in 30.06, and 8 mm. Mauser, but those are sort of a let down. They
tried to take the best of the Ljungman and the best of the M1-A1 and
put them together, and kinda missed the mark with both of them.

Some people like them, but I'm not a fan of the Hakim.
