6.5 x 55 Carl Gustav?

[TobyH]

I've just put a 6.5 x 55 on for a variation on my FAC and am looking to get a Carl Gustav/Swedish rifle.

Seen that Fulton's have a fair few for sale but was wondering where else is a good place to look for them.

Is there anything specific I should be looking out for (i.e. bad things)?

[Christel]

Well done that man, they are lovely rifles.
Most I have seen have been "blondes"

Fenland Rural Sports might be worth a try and you do get 10% discount.
C&G...Chris Goodwin.

Yeah I saw one at Fenland, didn't really look at it properly though. Looked on C&G and it seems they do every other gun but the swedish 6.5 x 55!!

Don't trust his website, it is rarely up to date with what he has actually got.

Best thing is to give him a ring.

I've brought guns in from Germany. No import licence needed but they are sticklers for detail and paperwork. Good luck if you go that route.

[TobyH]

Well I speak a bit of german having lived there for a few years so worth a look.

[lapua338]

Yep, I can confirm that the Germans do like their paperwork but it should be relatively straightforward acquiring a firearm in another member state of the European Union.

In theory, as far as the transfer from Germany is concerned, all that is required for the transfer of a bolt action rifle is a transfer licence issued by the export authorities in Germany and your domestic authority to possess the firearm in the UK.

Toby,

You ask what to look for.

A good barrel - the bore should sparkle like a modern rifle barrel - if you want it to shoot. If you don't, then look for matching numbers.

If it's got both - be happy to pay the asking price!

Cheers
Vince

This is something I've always wanted to know, how do you know if the barrel is good?

Apart from sparkling like a new barrel is there anything else to look for specifically?
