Small Arms of WWI Primer 066: Portuguese Vergueiro
Comments (2)
Much love for the 6.5! Got a couple of Swede's myself,a 1905 m96 and a '42 m38, very accurate and underated (at least locally, could barely buy a flogged k98 for cost of both my Swedes combined here, the short rifle is very tidy all original ) compared to pretty well all other Millitary rifles, i guess due to very little use in conflict. I hope one day you guys do an episode/s on the Swede's. Safe and happy christmas and new year to all.
Unlikely Othais' will be gracing us with the low-down on the Swedes, since, as a neutral power, they weren't actually a participant in WW1 [or 2], so their arms get ignored in a closely-focused project like this one. But the m96 is truly great, & I only wish I'd had a chance at an m38 before they all got scooped up! :-\
