Kuduae,

You are a great source. Thanks for the information that would take me hours if not days to track down. The photo requested is below. I expected a 93 action as just not right for a 96, but then my experience with 96s is with military Swedes. Both of this rifles that I'm posting on are really nice sporters. With my background in muzzleloaders I really like the octagon to round barrels, double set triggers and the way they handle.

I guess a quick check on barrel diameter was measuring lands instead of grooves. Will do a chamber cast to insure a 7x57. My favorite caliber.
