Who has one of these? it's a WW1 era 6.5mm, unique bolt action rifle

Was pulling some rifles out of the safe for cleaning etc. and remembered I had this excellent, like new unique 6.5mm rifle in there and had not shared it with others here before.

As you can all see the standard of workmanship as well as the walnut stock and bluing are simply stunning!

Anybody else have one? I will not name what it is to see who are the smarty pants out there who can id it and calibre for the rest!

Enjoy -

That is really an excellent example of the Dutch Mannlicher 1895 rifle, do you also have the bayonet ? I understand there were a number of carbine variations some even being converted to 303 British long after WW2

No bayonet unfortunately, the original owner separated them, but I do have loading dies, cases and a few clips!

Very nice. I have a carbine but it isn't that nice. No dies, no casings, one clip, five wooden bullet blanks.
