mp6.5 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 As for Caliber it is 6.5 swede/6.5X55MM. As for a stock do you want a Military replacement or an after market stock? A Military I would suggest you go to a gun auction site daily because I have never seen one without the remainder of the Rifle attached for sale. After market stocks might be found Richards Microfit in the San Fernando Valley Ca. or Great American gunstocks in Yuba City Ca. An American Krag will not fit as the action is shorter on the Norweigan. If you rebarrel remember it has to be something Low pressure, about 44,000 psi max.

gun nutty Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 If the only thing that has been altered is the hand guard, you might be better off finding a replacement and "restoring" it. Even in pieces, the rifle might have significant collector value. I'd get a rough value of its worth before chopping. If you can get some money out of it, sell it; then you can buy a glorious "beater" for glorification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
