Those Swedes are really sweet rifles. Long and a bit unwieldy, but crazy-accurate for something that's 100+ years old. Very pleasant shooting characteristics too. It's way more satisfying to slowly and methodically shoot these old milsurps than to just blast away with an AR like so may people do these days, anyways.

It is a sweet caliber, the 6.5x55. Here in Sweden, it was really popular for hunting moose until about a decade ago. For some reason, people seem to use their rifles and caliber to measure a certain body part. That, and the fact that hunting has gotten a question of cool gear nowadays. Anyhow... a lot of us Swedes were brought up with Huskvarna and Carl Gustaf 6.5x55. Our feathers had them, and ammo was usually free from the army if you knew someone working for them. Wish everyone knew back then. Moreover, the rifles made in the 40-60's was almost gratis. When I was 18 in 1990, i bought one for the equivilent of 20 dollars. The license was double that money.

How to read the stock disc from C&Rsenal: "Section I in the first variation’s exterior row of numbers reads 2 through 5 and the interior row contains 9, 0, and 1. The exterior is assumed to begin 6.51 and the interior 6.48. To read these disks just replace the last digit (1 or 8 ) with the marked digit, with zero standing for 10 and 1 standing as 11. So a first variation disk marked on the 9 has a 6.49mm bore and one marked 1 is 6.51mm bore. When the barrel erosion reached 6.55mm, it was decommissioned and replaced. The second variation is similar, but accounted for a minimum acceptable diameter of 6.46mm. The exterior row is marked 6.51 followed by 2 through 9 and the interior contains 6.4 followed by 7-9 and a 0. An arrow over a particular number substitutes for the 1. For instance, a disk with 6.51 and an arrow over the 6 would indicate a diameter of 6.56. When the diameter reached 6.59, it was replaced. Section II contains numbers 0-3 and referred to the condition of the bore. 0 would indicate a bore with no rust, abrasions, or corrosion. 1- Minimal darkening in areas. 2- Some rust or corrosion along the borders of the lands and grooves or within the grooves themselves. 3- Rust throughout, but without sharply defined edges. 4- Significant rust with sharply defined edges or corrosion throughout. When the bore reached an evaluation of 4, it was replaced and is therefore not listed on the disk. Section III indicated the hold over the shooter must apply to the rifle. This applied to rifles sighted for the original 94 cartridge and was meant as an adjustment when using the newer m94/41 cartridge. The disk has three markings. “Torped” meaning “spitzer” which refers to the new 140 grain count spitzer round that was in use. “Ӧverslag” meaning the “impact above.” And “Str” which was the abbreviation for “streck” or “point” and indicates how many decimeters (or 10 cm) over or under the shooter would have held at 100 meters. In 360 degrees, there are 6,300 streck, so each meant an adjustment of 1 decimeter for every 100 meters. This section was not always marked, however."

If there an 0 in section 3 of your list is mean that it’s zeroed for the newer m96/41 cartridge or not?

Thanks for sharing your M96. Mine was made by Carl Gustaf in 1919. It has an SA stamp in the upper right corner of the receiver. It is the highest quality small ring Mauser I've owned.

Relatively safe to watch with the kids. I swear in most of my videos, but there are plenty of channels who don't. I try to just make "real" videos, and in real life at a gun range, people swear. I'm probably the least PC and family-friendly gun channel out there, but you can still find a few videos of mine that are clean. Thanks for watching!

The butt stock disc gives the rifles condition from the last time it was in the armory. We'll start with the 1, 2, 3...this is the barrels condition. If there was no stamp, then the barrel is considered a zero meaning that it is brand new, 1 is next meaning the barrel is still in excellent condition with some wear, 2 means there was some signs of rust and/or erosion, and 3 being more rust and wear on the lands and grooves. The 6,46 and the 6,51 are bore diameter. So to read this portion, drop the last number in the 6,46 and 6,51 and find the highest stamped number so you could have 6,47, 6,48, 6,49 etc. This rifle is 6,51. The last section is for sighting purposes. The "Torped" or sometimes "Torpedam" means torpedo or in the case of bullets, Spitzer. The "Overslag" is for holdover and Str is for "Strek or Point" the number of decimetres (10 centimetres) for the holdover. It looks like this rifle has a "0" so you'd have a zero holdover. Hope that helps... Oh btw, Swedish armories are very anal, so what is a 3 barrel to them is still a very usable barrel and you should be able to get a lot of use out of it! Enjoy!!!

I believe that I herd that the #'S on the stock disc is for the throat measurement and the other is for the hold-over for the spitzer type round.

The 1, 2, or 3 indicate Bore condition. 1 being in the best condition, thereby being the most accurate, and condition 3 is usually time to change out the barrel.

Your disk does not represent units, it represents the condition of the bore and how far to hold over from the old round nose bullet to the newer spitzer bullet.

In this particular case it is: the Swede Mauser shooters I know all agree that for some strange reason Prvi Partizan ammo tends to be accurate in every calibre except 6.5 x 55. My own experience corroborates this.
