What is the doo-dad referenced in the photo? Not sure what its purpose is.
My Swiss Vetterli has nothing of the sort.
I recently got an Italian Vetterli rifle that was one of the ones converted to 6.5x52. I am in the process of cleaning it up. It was covered in cosmoline. Looks to be in good shape except for the fact that it appears to have been parkerized by someone at some point. I don't think these were originally parkerized. They did a decent job and the gun is solid. I plan to shoot some mild cast loads through it - no jacketed.
Anyone got any 6.5x52 brass, dies, and suitable molds for sale or trade? Any suggested loads?
BTW - the pictured rifle is not mine. Mine is currently in pieces being cleaned up.
