I had a girlfriend in a place in Sweden called Eskilstuna, I was going to live there with her, I got a job with Volvos industrial engine division and I was ready to go until we broke up. However what really bothered me was that I later found out that Eskilstuna used to be called Carl Gustafs stad and that my ex lived across the river from the old rifle factory! I’d been there so many times and had no idea!

Just for a little perspective on how good the 6.5x55mm Swedish is, noted firearms writers of in the 1950-1970s extolled the virtues of the 6.5x55mm, going so far as taking the round on Safari hunts in Africa, and very successfully taking down a lot of dangerous game with ease. The recoil is mild, the accuracy is stellar, and the rifle are some of the strongest designs the world has ever seen.

I like that the thumbnail has Norway as a part of Sweden, which was actually the case back in the 1890's when the two nations were united as the "United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway". Both picked the 6,5x55 but in different rifle systems, Sweden with the Mauser and Norway with the Krag. In retrospect Sweden made the better choice.

Great video. I am still a fan of the 6.5x55mm Swedish m/96 and Ljungman AG-42. Even took the old Mauser deer hunting a few times.

Back in the late 70’s , when you could list guns in the newspaper classified ads . I went to look at a AG42 , for me , at the time and the age I was , I thought , wow , that’s a very long rifle ( compared to my 30-30). I didn’t buy , now I sure wish I had bought it

I've fired the Ak4(G3). It did have a tendency for stovepipe jams, not too often though. The recoil is pretty heavy. But other than that it was accurate and functional rifle.

A Swede M38 was one of my first....still a favorite, that lead me to AG m42. It is an accurate dependable rifle. The 6.5 Swede is my favorit caliber, it has all the atributes outlined in your video.

@mikhailkalashnikov4599 not a larp rifle. The Swedish blanks are normal cases with a wooden bullet that is meant to be shot with a blank device that shreds the wood. I pull the wood bullet/powder and insert a real bullet/powder

My first mil-surp was a M38. Purchased for the exorbitant sum of $99. My M96 $109 and my AG42B $350. I love the pure simplicity of the Ljungman direct impingement gas system.

Great video. I know this is unrelated to this video; but would you be willing to share your thoughts on the Norinco 86s and the Polytech legend? Do you think the Norinco 86s was really made for "Sporting" or was more of a prototype the Chinese were testing and subsequently decided to sell on the commercial market? Also would like to hear your thoughts on the Polytech legend and how it compares to the Spiker due it having the spring-loaded firing pin.

On the other side of the rifle it does have the ∆ with 26 in it, and the Chinese word you talked about plus a 7 digit serial number ending with a Y and V stamp. What does all this mean?

Please don’t laugh, but, can I fire a 6.5 creed more round in my M96? Or visa versa?
@Triangle26 8 ай бұрын
Depends what you mean by “rounds”. The *cartridges* are definitely not interchangeable, however the *bullets* are. So if you tried to put a loaded 6.5 Creed cartridge in a 6.5 Swedish chamber (or vice versa), that would be a very bad idea. If you pulled the bullets from 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges, and loaded them into 6.5 Swedish brass, that would work fine.

hey man i need some help with an sks, it has two sets of numbers, its a yugo with a set of etched numbers but it also has different electropenciled numbers also matching
@Triangle26 8 ай бұрын
Yugo’s tend to have “assembly numbers” which could be confused for a serial number. The assembly number should be mostly zeros, and the serial number should be a random string of numbers with an alphabetical prefix. Does that help?
@darktrojan00 8 ай бұрын
well, its certainly not zeros, I read that somewhere and thats why I was wondering cause yes they seem like assembly numbers but no zeros, Its an A prefix gun
