Reddit reviews Crown Jewels - The Mauser in Sweden: A Century of Accuracy & Precision

For Swede Mausers, try this one.

I have no idea why it's listed at $600, I was able to buy it new from an online vendor (I forget whom) for like $50 and another $5 shipping.

Just read about this the other day in "Crown Jewels: The Mauser in Sweden". I'm trying to get a m41b right now. Beautiful gun, and better cartridge. I certainly hope you treat that lovely piece well. I am envious.

I think part of that just comes from the fact that there weren't a whole lot of them made and part from the weird penchant the swedes had for producing minor variations. If only I could afford a copy of this. I'd love to shoot one of these.

Ok then, military surplus rifles. That's a solid place to start. Here's a rundown:

I actually don't have a K31 book, but this one is written by Joe Poyer who is an author I trust. K31s are pretty straightforward for the most part, it's the earlier rifles that are a tad complicated to study.

There's so many damn Mausers that it's hard to recommend a book that covers enough of them. This one should be enough to get you started. This one just came back in print and is for the Swedish Mauser.

For Mosins, This one should provide enough knowledge, but there's actually a surprising amount of material online. Not many printed books on Mosins in English, sadly.

For Enfields, Ian Skennerton's book is the go-to.

And that should be enough to get you started. For any other guns, just type the gun name followed by "book" into Google and you should find what you need. And as always, the internet has plenty of it's own resources too.
