goodnewsRe: R 93 NEW ACCIDENT!
Edmund--
I am from Iowa in the USA and recently acquired an R93 with three barrels no less (6.5x55,.30-06 and.375H&H). Aesthetically, I liked the rifle and have only fired the 6.5 yet and it is very accurate but now I am very concerned for my safety after hearing about these "blow-ups". The importer here in the States, Sigarms, disavows any knowledge of any problems with the R93.
Can you shed any light on these accidents? As far as I know none have occured in the States; at least I have not heard of any.
