Historical profile
Developed during World War II to give Swedish units a standardised precision capability, selecting the most accurate m/96 rifles directly at the arsenal.
The m/41B model, introduced at the end of the war, was fitted with an AGA 3× telescopic sight with arrow-point reticle, side mount and bent bolt handle.
It remained in service with Swedish designated marksmen until the 1980s, replaced by the Psg 90 (Accuracy International AW).
