I have a Mauser Modle 93 Spanish in a Full Manlicher stock. This was rebarreled to shoot 6.5mm x 54 Manlicher Schoenauer. Not to be confused with 6.5 x 54 Mauser.
I would like to shoot this gun, and Norma makes this for $70.00 a box of 20 rounds once every other blue moon.
So what I need to know is what do I need to get done to re-chamber for 6.5 x 55 Swedish?
Would the bolt need work?
I at one time tried to fire form Carcano which is different head diameter, with a 53mm case. That didn't make cases.
I can chamber 6.5 x 54 Mausers, but did not get to shoot it, and those are hard to come by anyway.
The brass I have now was last reloaded in 1961, and is not in great shape, even though I have about 60 rounds. This stuff is in boxes called Dominion and only labled 6.5, made in CANADA. I did not skip x 54mm...... the box does not say case length...go figure....
I can not close the bolt with a 6.5 x 55 Swedish shell. A good thing I think so far...
This is about as far as I get, when a knowing gun guy tells me I am a liar...... saying there is no such thing.
Next the marks on this gun get me in all kinds of trouble.
On the reciever it says starting with the serial number, and you will like this...
A little picture of:
Saturn G 31xx,then a star of David
behind that it says
MANUFAFACTURA LOEWE BRELIN
The follower plate has a malteze cross, and the bolt release has some other type cross each side a quarter circle )( sort of thing.
On the bolt arm which is turned down, or bent there is another star of David, and on the ball there is another Saturn.
On the bolt sleeve where the safety mounts there is another 6 point star, but not the star of David, this is also made with quarter circles )(, and followed by a 79.
The lever for releasing the bolt from the reciever has 2 crosses, 1 is the malteze type and the other is made of )( shapes.
The trigger/mag box has matching numbers found on the reciever, but the mark there looks like a atom, and the atom is found again mag release button/plunger.
The screws that hold the trigger/mag box also have stars of this curved type )(
the stock and barrel are no way military, and the barrel only has PATE showing before it goes into the reciever. I think it say Patented prolly?
The stock is great looking walnut with a wicked nasty burl at the butt. The pistol grip is checkered nicely, and fitted with a black cap of unknown material.
The butt stock plate is steel, and checkered.
There is a Williams peep sight mounted just before the bolt and on the same side as the bolt handle.
This gun cocks on closing the bolt.
There is a nice fitting at the muzzel, a cap that protects the wood, ad wraps the barrel stopping at the sight ramp.
So... again what I would like to know is what needs done to re-chamber this to 6.5x 55? Mac
