==== Self-loading device SNABB 38 ====
In 1938 a Swedish design called the SNABB was considered. This was a modification that could be made to virtually any bolt-action rifle allowing it to be converted into a self-loading weapon, therefore presenting a chance to cut costs as compared to manufacturing new weapons.<ref name="NMG-21" /> The device used gas pressure to operate the bolt handle with the help of a runner. The modification was deemed by some to be unnecessarily complicated.<ref name="NMG-21" /> A separate pistolgrip was needed, and the receiver needed major modifications.<ref name="NMG-21" />

A prototype was manufactured in the autumn of 1938 and tested for several months. While moderately successful, the modification would cost about three times as much as originally thought, and the project was dropped due to lack of funds.<ref name="NMG-21" />
