What size action can I use to build a 9X64 Brenneke ? I think it will fit on a standard length FN action, but is that the ideal size ?

3.34" oal.. most standard length actions will work great

My 9,3x64 Husqvarna with FN action has been made in .30-06 -lenght action.

Mine is also made on a M98 action and I am very happy with it.

The cartridge was designed to fit into a standard M98.

i think you meant 9,3x64, right?

I've been re-chambering and modifying a Husky 9.3 to 9.3x64. Works so far. Now if only the original barrel had not been screwed up so bad...

I've done several using Mk X actions, FN's, a Husqvarna M146, and Milsurp 98's. No problems with any.

My mistake; yes, 9.3X64. Thanks for the help.

Ask your 'smith to pay attention to magazine box width at the cartridge shoulder location. The metal can get mighty thin while chasing the correct internal box width.

z1r recently did some nice work on my Mark X. Mark Stratton had started the project; I will have James Anderson finish up the magazine box; I guess I will do the wood.

Outstanding cartridge!

bought a 1909 Arg. from Chic yrs. back and had it done in that Brenneke chamber. nice lil' 9,3
