Let's see your 6.5x55's

Besides the three militray issue Swede Mausers I have, I sure would like to find a half way descent CG-63 target rifle in 6.5 x55mm if anyone knows of one for sale...


Then one day a M/41b...

I have a CG-63 and a AG-42, both great looking and shooting rifles. I haven't been by in awhile, but a couple of months ago, Military Gun Supply in Fort Worth Texas, had about 60 CG-63's, CG-80's, and various M-96, and M-38's, so you might check with them and SARCO gets them in occassionally as well. I got my CG-63 from MGS, right before they were fixing to take it to Tulsa, and I got an exceptional price, because the front sight was broken, which I easily fixed. I have also been eyeing those M-41's from SAMCO, but they are a little out of my budget right now.

try global-samco.com thet had some cg's in stock looked great.

Float Pilot, Allan's Armory has a bunch. He describes them individually and has photos of each one on his site. I bought a K31 from him for a quite good price and excellent+ condition o which I am refinishing the stock right now (it is a K31 after all). I'd reccomend you check him out. Always has something interesting available.

Mine.

Here's my Tikka Varmint in 6.5x55 - I don't believe this caliber/model is available to the US market for some reason.
I also have an AG-42B and a Husky M-38 - I just love this caliber!

My M38, with a bragging target. It's really a frustrating gun for me to shoot. I know that the accuracy is there, but I just can't see those sights. May have to trade it in on a CZ.

DON'T DO IT! just get yourself some Mojo Peep Sites! They will improve your accuracy, and are completely reversible, so you don't have to worry about ruining its history.

It's amazing what an aperature sight can do in way of helping older eyes... just gotta be able to focus on that front sight

M94 ...

jd46561,

Nice, very nice.

Please don't frighten me by balancing it on that saw horse again though, it might fall off and get a boo-boo!

Very, very nice. Here's mine in 6.5x55 - sporterized 94.

I've got one of the sporterized kimbers and it drives tacks. Wish I had bought a Rem 700 classic or Win featherweight. Going to get a CZ 550 as soon as the budget allows.

That looks curiously like the 6.5x55 that Kimber was offering back in 1996-'97..

My 1900 Gustov shooter-grade:


6.5x55 is my favorite rifle cartridge

@ jd46561 - your cavalry M94 is sweeeeet!

That looks curiously like the 6.5x55 that Kimber was offering back in 1996-'97..

Yes it does. I think I put the same stock on it that Kimber was using. Grandad had a walnut stock from Herter's on it, but it weighed a ton and was a little too chubby in the wrist for me.

I think Kimber was keeping the original barrels, the bolt handle was done differently, and they used Buehler style safeties.

I looked at the 63's at MGS in Ft. Worth a few months ago. Not bad, decent wood, vg metal, finish, and bores. Most have club medallions, stickers, and whatnot, which to me, adds a little something extra. Lots of them had micrometer sights of various types. Just remember the prices on the website may not be the actual price, depending on if you pick one up in person or have it shipped to a FFL.

Rabbit.

Just picked up this sporterized 1894 carbine. From the feel of it it looks to be my favorite. Hope to be able to shoot it this weekend.

OK, I'll give....

Here's mine, a 1919 Gustad that's been slightly updated..

Here's one of the 3 that I have - I will try to get pics of the other 2 posted later


This is one of the Kimber converted guns, I put a Timey Trigger on it and a Burris 6X24 Scope. The stock is the composite with the Duracoat Urban camaflage.

Mauser question

Hello all-
I own a Kimber sporterized version, it shoots great, it has a 3X9 Weaver scope and will put three shots in 2" at 200 yards.
I have not been able to disassemble the bolt as I cannot get the safety in the proper position to disassemble.
Any help on how to disassemble would be greatly appreciated.

My Steyr Mannlicher

I LIKE this rifle.

It is my first "plastic" after many years of oil-finish, great quality walnut.

Even when I was serving, I managed to keep wooden furniture on my 7.62 SLR - but that was never more than a tool.

Anyway, here it is:

The can is a T8 moderator and means I don't need to wear ear protection in the field.

Result!

Here ya go.... Sporterized '94 Swede Mauser, with 6.5x55mm bbl, but aftermarket (Federal).

I may have to look at CZ because I can't find a Kimber 6.5mm.


..MJ..

took out my Carl Gustav 1916 made M96 today and tried two types of ammo.

Prvi Partsan 139gr soft point and surplus Hirtenburger 139gr FMJ.These are the best targets for each brand though the others were only slightly bigger in groups also.


Both ammo gave just about the same sizes.Both ammo is good IMO.Though the PP might have a slight edge.

Happy note is that before using different style targets and and doing more plinking than trying for sizes the rifle always shot high,but today with a 6 O'clock hold on a SR-1 target it shot point of aim center at 100yds,so Im happy about that.
