new toy

Since starting a Mauser collection, I've read a lot about the Swedes accuracy, workmanship, and quality so I just knew that was gonna be my next. I finally found one in good shape. Its a 1919 Carl Gustafs with all matching numbers. The stock disc says the bores a #1 with the diameter at 6.51 I'm not sure what the "Overslag 0" means though. Its sure has a great looking bore.
I just have a couple of questions that I thought I'd ask here because of all the great knowledge of all you people out there

Why is the end of the barrel threaded? The dealer wasnt exactly sure either. My only other question is about the stock disc. I can't find a good site that explains what the numbers mean.
I'm going to have to wait a week or more before shooting it though.....shot a few hundred rounds through the M48 and man does my shoulder hurt!

The Sportsman's Guide usually has some stuff for the Swede Mausers, including a screw-on muzzel brake. There is also a blank-fire device that uses wooden bullets that are shreaded inside the device.

Welcome to the sweede community! I did a bit of research when I got my m38, so I dusted off my link collection and found a nice site about that stock disc:

The homepage that info comes from is about the best sweede info site on the net:

As for that threaded muzzle, that blank-firing device already mentioned is rumored to the the original use for it. Muzzle brakes are, I believe, solely an aftermarket thing.
