| Shouldn't be any issues, other than possibly/maybe the extractor. |

| Before purchasing your particular action make sure and have it checked to see if there is any lug setback. |

The 6.5x55 swede feeds perfect(round nose & spitzer) in my all orig. 1909 Arg. should be a easy conversion. |

| Great Caliber. Great Platform. Same Bolt face Diameter. I say you can't go wrong, Blue. Your only risk is the quizzical looks you'll get from your fellow Mainers, who are carrying either something of .30 Cal, .35 Cal, or something masked "Black Rifle" mystique.

| Perfect match. As stated the boltface/extractor dimensions are real close to the Swede. My examples all accept the Swede case. The 1909 Argy action is unique in that it has straight taper feed rails vs the "pinched" rails with other Mauser calibers. I find they feed just about anything. You may want to substitute a Swede follower if you have issues with the stnd one. |
