Title: 6.5x55 Sweed Mauser Thread Pitch
Post by: m1agsr on July 14, 2016, 01:56:35 PM
My uncle in law passed away a few years ago and i got several firearms. One of which is an old 6.5x55 sweed. It's threaded at the top but that's for a special adpatper used to shoot WOOD bullets, not to use a supressor. But that does beg to ask; i'm far from a machinist but... short of buying tools to check the original thread pitch.. i'm carious if anyone knows the original info.

dont get me wrong, i would double check by hand (via gunsmith) but the ones i call are "backlogged".

These are great rifles- you can still pick up " flash hiders" at many surplus dealers. I believe the  thread is 14x1mm
