Carl Gustav M96 6,5x55 SE

I just acquired this beauty. Anno 1901 with not a scratch, looks unfired, with all parts numbered.

Very nice indeed!

Great looking rifle. Question: Is your bolt handle blued?

Gun porn!

Bolt not blued, no. Highly polished but naked, unprotected steel, same as butplate.

They didn't need the bluing with all the nickel they loaded in there steels. One of the nicest I've seen in quite awhile, congratulation......SDH

Let alone it's good looks, it shoots too. Here's a 10-shot group, shot over military issue sights at 100 meters (true, I went to a higher FS blade to bring it just above POA).

Just run that through a program for a ball park figure and it listed N-160 - 44 grains with the 140 SMK COAL 3.110" 2586 fps at 43,547 lbs/inch2 from a 26.5" barrel.

So based on that the program re adjusted to a 29" Brl and a COAL of 3.040 ~2,664fps 45,105lbs/inch2

Close enough. With my 29" barrel, I get 2618 ft". My COAL is set at 3.04" (no research, just taken from the book).
