Got Uzi Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Figured I’d start a new thread for our Swedish K guns that’s for pictures of them and be able to use it for reference. As I’ve stated before-my gray one is a real Swedish K pre sample and the green one is a post sample I built on a Port Said kit. The post sample has a custom made red dot mount that indexes off the cocking handle slot to hold/maintain zero. It’s one of my favorite shooters Note that I don’t have the middle “pin” installed. I found that I was getting sear skip/runaway gun issues due to not drilling the hole perfectly in location. By removing the pin, it allows the sear to sit higher in the gun and lock up positively on the bolt. Edited January 26 by Got Uzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I like all your guns. I'll post my "L" series Port Said tomorrow and if I can get J Andrewski to send me a few pics of my newly finished "MB" series, I'll post them too. I was poking around my "K" box and found an original Swedish modern canvass magazine pouch, with crown stamp. I'll post that also. I'd buy another, but 2 (transferable) are enough on the wallet.

I note your "K" has the same sling as me and Mongo. Someone is going to be very jealous! Those slings are long gone..... I got lucky on Monday and found a "K" bolt safety device (I guess that's what you call it) AND a "K" extractor/extractor spring/extractor retaining clip combo on GB. No waiting, I bought them both right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted February 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’ll have to dig out the accessories I have for my K’s…I have a brass catcher, a ejection port “safety” cover oil cans and I think I have an original sling too. I need to go digging. I also need to see what I have for spare parts. I know I have 2 or 3 bolts, several extractors, several sears, and other misc stuff. Need to inventory it all.

Your spare parts/accessories collection looks like mine. But... I may actually have something you don't! Check out the modern ammo pouch!

JJX Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I no longer have that sling in my photo above. So if some show up, I am interested also. My current sling is more like the one shown here(not my pic). It is a little thinner. Edited February 3, 2023 by JJX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekraps Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Frank, I Love the pics! Interesting variations... You guys know I had a custom integral suppressor made for my K (Joe Jones/Curtis Tactical) and I only had pics for him to use as a guide. Look how close he got just using the pics, compared to the photo posted above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the pouch ever used by Sweden? Gotcha. I'm not sure whether or not Sweden used them, but it would make sense that they did. Anyone else out there seen these pouches before? The Bolt safety block was a nice find. It was quite beat up, but I chemically stripped it and repainted. Looks great now. Mechanically its perfect.

A lot of the info and pictures came from collectors and museums in Sweden. Note the rows of 4-holes in the early barrel shrouds in some of the vintage photos, and the gun with a caseless ammo conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 My new (to me) "K" that Andrewski built was approved for transfer and is on it's way to my local FFL. I'll take and post pics when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewski does a nice job with matching the original Model B green color, (A models were gray) the only close color I found commercially available is Lauer's Swedish green which is close, but not spot-on.

Thanks Frank, you are correct. I have an original brass catcher and the color is almost perfect. Of course the parts kits that are painted are all very old, so the paint sheen has faded. I'm happy with the result, and with John, I just tell him to do his thing knowing the results will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
