Saami Specs

[Dipperman]

I just tried to get to the Saami web site to look at their cartridge and chamber drawings. It looks to me like I now have to be a Saami member to do this.

Does anyone know where or how to access their cartridge drawings without trying to become a Saami member?

Looking at their membership requirements, I do not qualify.

Thanks for looking and thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

They changed it a while back. On the SAAMI site the second line under the blue banner in red "Current cartridge & chamber drawing" https://saami.org/technical-information/cartridge-chamber-drawings/ Click on that and you will get transferred to https://saami.org/technical-information/ansi-saami-standards/ Inder the blue banner on that page the top five options in blue are:Rimfire, Shotshell, Pistol, Rifle ... From there click on whatever PDF you want to open and look through.

Good info
I recommend this post to be “sticky’d”

Thank you Moleman for your response to my question. Unfortunately the links you posted would not work for me. Not sure why. I do appreciate that you tried to help.

Thank you Cast10 for your response to my question. The links you posted worked for me and the entire thread is now residing in my My Documents folder for future reference.

I cannot relate the sinking feeling I had when I could not access the Saami Specs site. Lots of very valuable information there.

Happy! Happy!
