Happy new year everyone!
Picked up at my local mom and pop gun shop, an old Carl Gustav 6.5x55. It appears to be in very good shape. Bought it with the intention of making it into something else with a re-barreling project. Wondering what would be appropriate caliber -- would prefer large bore. Was considering 45-90 but not too keen on the bolt face work to accommodate. Another apparently good option would be a 358. Any suggestions?
Seems odd that this action has no safety. And appears its not just missing but no evidence there ever was one. Will try to post pics. The stock has been played with and also someone drilled and tapped for scope bases. There are no iron sights. I assume this is a M96 small ring, there is no safety lug.
Any and all comments/suggestions welcome. Bob.
