Good morning all...

As this is on a BYF 40 Mauser 98 Action I thought this best to post up here.

Recently acquired a S & L M69 with Danishicon Target sights as a shooter grade rifle... lots of dings and some surface rust etc but it has a good throat and bore. As everything is present on the rifle I will restore it.

Question 1 -
This is chambered in 6.5 x 55mm what is the twist rate on the barrel ?

Question 2 -
I live in Canadaicon... Is there a source (Have tried CGN / Numrich / S&L / eBay) for a replacement rear pad? Mines "Tired"

Question 3 -
Are bolts typically force matched on these by S & L during the conversion process?

Question 4 -
Is there a specific action screw Torque I need to adhere to?



The rifle had been last inspected in 2000 and looks to have sat a good number of years with a little surface rust forward of the chamber on the exterior of the barrel and some slight rust on the Bolt handle.
Trigger still breaks cleanly.
Basically it needs a bloody good clean.

I have heard these things are rather accurate so the reason for the twist rate requirement is to not waste time on too heavier round during load development... I like the look of the SMK 142 Grains but happy to go to a lower grain weight if I need to.

Well, thanks all.
Pete.
