The same actions were sold to Carl Gustaf as surplus and they made them into the Carl Gustaf 3000. They have "Carl Gustaf" milled into the side of the receiver with the Sauer brand mark on either side. German action with Swedish barrel. Unfortunately, they also have Swedish (birch or beech?)stocks which I have always found butt ugly!
I have one on its way to me now in the mail and am curious to try it out.
I also have a Shutlz and Larsen with the rear lug system. Some have said that these rear lug lock-ups are not as accurate, which my experience has not shown.
