Damn Sir!
You appear to be right! I just tried to screw the Swedish mauser barrel I have into my new VZ-33 action and it stops short! Sure enough it runs out of threads!!!!
But it screws right...

id like to try to reload with the .268 hornady bullets anyone know where the best place to buy them is? I am looking into a NOE bullet mould as well
Forum: Military Rifles
I pretty much expected it to key hole since .264 is the bullet diameter of PRVI. Apparently hornady also makes (or made) 6.5 Carcano loaded ammo under there custom line. I know where I can get a...

It really looks like 11mm Werndl! I hadn't even thought of that cartridge. I wonder if someone has an 11mm Mannlicher or an 1879 Argentino Rolling block to shoot them in. Perhaps I...

Indeed the Swedish Mauser is a wonderful rifle and cartridge but she really likes the way the Carcano feels in her hands. Heck with it nothing ventured nothing gained.

Bill Berg indeed made the gas system parts for me and he did an AMAZING Job! Breathed new life into this old rifle.
Many of the guns made in 41-43 didn't have rails milled into them. How did you...

It would be interesting to see one of these catridges next to a .43 egyptian (11.3x49mmR) it looks extremely similiar. I am pretty sure the bore of my Egyptian rolling block is also .446-448

I believe .32-40 still holds some long range records to this day.
