Michael Cross Wrote:Thank you. That linked document from post 107 (now attached) is not specific to the MC rifle - correct?
Correct.
The document refers to the 6.5x54mm cartridge. The reason is thus; Bob says that all 6.5mm rifles have groove diameters of .264" apart from the Carcano which is .268". I stated that I have a Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle with a groove diameter of .268" - which I have personally measured. He called me a liar - repeatedly..
I linked to the document to proove that my rifle does indeed have such a barrel. As you will see no 6.5x54mm rifle could possibly have a .264" groove diameter, as he continues to claim, as the minimum groove diameter mandated by the CiP is .2669"
Michael Cross Wrote:And the other link you provided in post 106 is someone referencing the MC specs, but not a link to the CIP specs for the carcanno - correct?
Neophyte with weapons, digging for specificity and understanding.
No. The poster in that link is referring to Mannlicher models 1892 and 1903. These rifles chamber the 6.5x53Rmm round, and 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer round respectively.
The use of the initials MC are not correct. The Carcano rifle is not a Mannlicher product. The use of the word Mannlicher has been mistakenly applied since 1963.
JL.
Edit: the file you posted was just the tolerance sheet. The specification sheet is here - the groove dimension is denoted as the Z value under 'Barrel'
