Thanks.

    Jason..welcome to the world of Swedish mausers, the only rifles in the world that can tell you what the wear of your barrel bore diameter and its condition by being able to read the disc. In short, the top line tells you the barrel bore diameter. The bottom line is the minimum barrel bore diameter accepted, the top line the max accepted. The triangle indicates the actual measurement of your barrel which is 6.48 (pretty good!). Any bore over 6.59 was considered poor and replaced at the armory. The triangle over the #1 indicates the bore condition, #1 being the highest indicating only slightly worn. Usually #3 barrels were replaced. The third wedge section has to do with the type of bullet used (torped=boattail) and dealt with holdover for the "new" cartridge. Range charts on the stock replaced this wedge and usually Swedish mausers have no mark in this area. Hope this helps! You own, IMHO, the best shooting mauser ever made! Good shooting!

    The Ljungman is a 10 shot gas operated semiauto. I don't believe it is a Mauser.

    rsnyder55...is of course correct about the Ljungman...it was the Swedish version of our M1Garand..firing the Swedish Mauser cartridge, 6.5x55. I was refering to the cartridge, not the actual rifle (which is great in its own right and its unique gas system was copied both by the French for the MAS 49/56 and Stoner for the AR-15/M16). I have two AG42B's and they are a blast to shoot. Hope you enjoy yours! Good shooting!

    Sorry, I just didn't want the poster to think he had a Mauser rifle versus cartridge.

    Unfortunately at this I only have the Swedish Mauser. Hopefully one day I will be able to get a Ljungman.

    BTW, great explanation of the disc.
