Re: 8x51 ??? No, really a 8x54mm Krag

UPDATE

forgot about this post and have been tinkering away.
This rifle that started this post has/had a fairly large pit show up in the chamber after a vigorous cleaning. Nothing really to be done with it. It was traded as a donor.

The UPDATE. A Vapen Depoten/Falun M-30D has taken its place. This too is a pattern 96 action with the trimmed stock and rebored barrel. It is as well a 8x54KJ. No side panels like the earlier M3-D and a better excuted splice of the grip knob. Just a nice rough service rifle in a caliber to handle Alg.

I have managed to drop my camera so some pictures will be a bit of a wait.

I have fireformed 50 Lapua 6.5x55mm cases I had for just such a project. Headspace is spot on and neck/chamber/bore specs are all very agreeable......something I can't say about a certain M46 in 9.3x57mm. Now to try some 200gr Speers and ReLoder15
