I bought the rifle from AKGuy1985 who bought it recently. Hopefully he won't mind if I pirate his pics. It has the flash hider too but was removed for the bullet test pic. The Husqvarna built rifles came with the turned down bolt handle and had the 23" barrel as opposed to the 29". This one won't be modified in any way. Jbarnett, did you score one yet?

Looks like you did well on that one!!! Now we need a range report, even though I'm pretty sure that one is going to be a tackdriver!

In military bolt guns, Mausers are the only way to go for me, and I would love to have the short barreled Swede, but they are pretty pricey. I like the shorter barrels, turned down bolts, and pistol grips so the Yugo Mausers are the only thing reasonably priced and the ammo is available dirt cheap.

Hoping so! It has a nice bore. I have some military ball for it that I'll run thru for fun but I think it will really shine with handloads. I have to handload for the finicky chambered sporter custom sister of this rifle. I'm really pumped to get loading for these two rifles and have spent quite a bit of time researching the 6.5x55 round.
