    I have a Carl Gustafson 1915. Not sure of model. S/N 335735. But it seems to have been converted
    for sniper. Front and rear sites upgraded. Rear sights are marked Traffb. At and H V. Also on the
    stock is a specification plate for distance. Did they make a sniper variation.

    Unless it was converted to a m/38, you have a m/96. m/38 barrels are 24"; m/96 barrels
    are 29.5". Some rifles had sights changed for target shooting, usually by civilians.
    A real sniper rifle is a m/41 or m/41B and is a m/96 with notable accuracy that was
    fitted with a side-mount scope base and a scope.
