Swedish Partisan Rifle
During WW2 Husqvarna Vapenfabrik produced rifles which were intended to be used by a resistance movement in Sweden in case of occupation by the Nazis. This is not a Military rifle. The mechanism used was the old standard Mauser m/96 mechanism similar to fm/23-36 and the calibre was 7.9×58 mm like the standard German Military ammunition. The m/96 mechanism is considered to be weak for the heavy German cartridge.
