Swiss or Swedish? People tend to mix these up. If it wasn't a straight pull like those pictured, it wasn't Swiss

They had the T handle, loop on the back, & the cross on the receiver ring. The mag looked a little different, it was flat on the bottom, not like the pictures above

No, it didn't protrude as much. It was almost flush
And it wasn't a K31? Did you notice whether the T handle was aluminum?

I guess I will have to make another walk-through. I also want to look at the Swedish Mauser they have listed as 8mm
Made the walk-through. 1 was marked S/M K11, there was another like it marked "husky" with the mag next to the trigger guard. 4 were longer rifles with the mag forward of trigger guard. There were several shorter rifles, same length length as the one marked K11 but had the mag forward like the long rifles. Most had mags with the flat bottom & a ridge around the outside, others had a mag with rounded corners like the picture above. All were tagged as Huskvarna except the first one. All that I took out had the aluminum knob. The Swedish Mauser was stamped 8 X 57

Well, it is a mystery...Husqvarna made no straight pull rifle to my knowledge. The K11 and the longer 1911 rifles should have the same magazine system. The aluminum pull knobs were exclusive to the K31, pictured above.
Could the "S/M K11" have been "S/R K11"? S/R for Schmidt Ruben.
Husqvarna made no military rifles in 8 x 57, AFAIK.
...a fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place...
