Norinco M97 Trench Gun copy
When I bought this Oldsarge I didn't know what ammo it shot. I just found out yesterday when looking at it again. It has 6.5 X 55 stamped on the barrel near the front site in very small font. I'm going to get some ammo for it soon and feed it a few rounds.Shame on you! Shoot it!
I'm up in years and not in the best of health Oldsarge and somebody suggested I should start selling off a lot of my stuff. I asked them why and they said you could get a lot of money for it. I asked them what would I do with the money. They said you could buy things you want. I told them what I have is the things I want.The 6.5 is such an excellent caliber. I'm sure you will have fun. Given the large game in the Pacific Northwest and my lack of interest in shooting an elk (what do you do with that much meat when you live by yourself?) I'm seriously considering selling off the rest of my rifles and just keeping my own 6.5 . . . and the drilling, of course.

M96 Swedish Mauser made in 1918. I bought it for $75 about 20 years ago and stuck it in a closet.

I remember when those small ring Mausers were dirt cheap. The 96 and 94 showed some great machine work. Personally, I've never minded the cock on classing actions. Keep that one safe, they aren't making them like that anymore.M96 Swedish Mauser made in 1918. I bought it for $75 about 20 years ago and stuck it in a closet.

I had an M96 once in 9.3x57 that I rechambered to 9.3x62. That thing was a pocket rocket! And whoever designed the stock on it must have apprenticed at a London gunmaker because it came to the shoulder and lined up like lightning. I sold it to a friend who wanted an elk/moose rifle but who later succumbed to a collection of nasty diseases. I wonder whatever happened to that gun.
Yes I have a M43 Husqvarna sporter in 9.3x57. Your comments on the stock are right on, it shoulders more like a fine sxs shotgun than a rifle. It's a 1929 vintage and is only stamped 9.3 cal, and serial number is on the barrel, not the receiver. I had thought of rechambering to x63 but decided against it as I really have no need for another hard thumper.
