Here's one you don't see very often but could give you a surprise if you do: An M91 long rifle rechambered for the 6.5 Greek Mannlicher cartridge. Which is a couple mm longer than 6.5 Carcano. And if you were shooting milsurp ammo with brittle brass from old age, you could have a case fail. Actually, in the brginning, they were intended to fire both cartridges interchangably. Shown is one of the conversion marks - a big 'E' which has a connection to some Greek word - can't recall specifically right now. You will also see "It. u Gr." "Italian und Greische" Neither are common. I bid on this one but dropped out due to overall poor condition. I figure it was used by Greek partisans against the Germans. This another of the variations that are seldom seen but a few are out there. SW |

I dropped out @ 200 & it went for 201. I would have liked it, but rare junk is still junk. Something you don't see very often, though. SW |

You know I think I just saw a listing for ammo for one of those! To bad you did not get it. A better one will show up. |
