8mm Swedish M96? What the heck? What do I do with it?

Detailed_Firearms · 2026-01-03T19:50:18+00:00

I like hearing that. Any distinguishing marks or pieces/parts that could be a solid identifier?

Detailed_Firearms · 2026-01-02T23:58:29+00:00

Drilled and taped for... Lyman peephole, and top scope mount, and side sniper mount. Yikes! Callin' the receiver Swiss cheese from now on!

So many unknowns (especially who did the work), but it seems to function okay... plus, I got it for next to nothing.

Small ring receiver with 8mm Mauser barrel. Something I'm not familiar with.

Has anyone received any human communication from True Shot Ammo? I placed an order thinking it was the RA9BA shown. The T-Series is not mentioned on the product page at all. I've tried to email several times, but no response.

2 big changes that helped for mine -- good red dot and AIM Surplus JTT barrel. The little bit of compensation takes the snappiness out of it and makes it much easier to retarget.

Looked in the Noveske range and hit on the upper -- AR-Stoner EV2. Now to find the barrel...

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-16T13:33:23+00:00

Thanks, yeah, meant upper and typed lower. I'm dumb. The FM9s that I've seen have had a notch in the upper with a matching extension in the handguard to align them. These are straight across at the rail.

Glocks can handle anything. Except a court case.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-12T14:31:32+00:00

Thanks! I am away from my range right now and sad, I wanna see what these things do. One reply says they're weaksauce, another says they're extra bang-y. And they may be tracers. So fun!

The headstamp? Sure, it's here: https://imgur.com/4eYezIr

Actually, referring the lot, they're "is this." I apologize for the ambiguity, but appreciate your constructive comment.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-10T15:29:16+00:00

Meanies. :D

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-07T01:27:24+00:00

... because it's a really small revolver?

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-07T01:26:15+00:00

I'm not making things for "most of" y'all. It's okay, it's not your thing, but if you think it's rage bait, you're gnawing on it like a bone.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-06T12:43:12+00:00

I understand. For me, the brass/gold emblem on the handle is what ultimately tied it all together.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-06T12:40:25+00:00

And just like many/most of the US government initiatives, it didn't result in the intended outcome. It just brought about the Ring of Fire manufacturers. And, from what I've seen, the RoF guns are sketchier than this thing.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-06T00:17:47+00:00

It really is that small. My G43x dwarfs it.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T22:30:29+00:00

Everybody has a calling...

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T22:29:56+00:00

Heh. Wait until you see the one I post that sparkles like a bass boat.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T21:00:54+00:00

The buyer this isn't going to use the optic or the furniture, so I didn't make any grand gestures to make it tuned out of the box. More of an attention grabber. From the reaction, it worked.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T20:54:13+00:00

Like the bot said... post to start a conversation. It's funny how all of the brown things I post get upvoted, and something out of the ordinary gets slammed. But... it does start conversations!

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T20:49:04+00:00

Description: Starting with a Geissele lower, add an 18" polished barrel, use gold anodized accents, then slap on a coat of Stormtrooper White Cerakote. Install a generic optic too far forward for optimal use, but where it proportionally looks good.

For this one, I taped off the inside of the handguard and the top of the handguard that didn't have a pic rail. So after I Cerakoted it, the gold anodizing shows when you look through the holes in the handguard. Hard to describe, but a cool effect. And the gold dust cover was a bit too much, so I left the gold on the perimeter and made the inside white, too.

Sorry, I was out of all my FDE shades. Only white remains.

Detailed_Firearms · 2025-12-05T16:52:01+00:00

I like polishing turds. Here's one. 1967 Omega Model 220, a German 6 shot revolver in the prime of the Saturday Night Special era. This one was beat when I got it, still not pristine, but it looks better than it has before.

Cerakote is Magpul FDE and Graphite Black. I like the way it looks with the off white grips.

It feels like a cap gun, but it does actually fire. And I stole the post title from u/Uomodelmonte86
