Re: Looking for a Mannlicher-Schönauer in 6.5x55, 7x57, or 8x57

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on that site.

I'd prefer a 1924/25 to a 1952-on (I really don't like the swept handle). A 1950 would be a last resort... But I'm not in a hurry, I'll keep watching around.

Do you know if anyone rechambered the 6.5x54 to 6.5x55? If there is no major technical reason for not doing it, I'm sure that in Sweden at least they'll have done that once in a while.

I'd love to find a 8x57 IS from before the war, not sure if they did any (I think that the Germans were banned from such calibers after WWI, although after a while they basically said "Screw that... We're doing it anyway, and if you don't like it come here and tell us about it.").

The lack of ammo is a no-no for the 6.5x54, can't reload here.
