The above information came from a little booklet I tracked down after acquiring one of the un-altered '65 models.
The pistol had always captivated my attention, having seen glimpses of a one in various Westerns.
This unique pistol spawned an international rifle and carbine history with Sweden in particular producing thousands under license.
My personal thinking was that this would have been my second pistol because once you've fired your five shots from your revolver you can then keep firing at one shot every two seconds until your belt is empty; probably the same length of time it would have taken to reload six shots into your revolver.
I am trying to figure out how to upload pics of my pistol while confined to the Android phone world.
