More recent pile of NFA items
Had to do an inventory of NFA items recently (Mostly post samples), and here is the pile that it created minus a few larger belt feds.

Just depends on what you intend on using it for. Swedish Mausers in general are fun shooters. The 6.5X55 ball has a weight range from 77 to 160gr. This should cover your wants from target to deer.
There are still quite a few ammo suppliers for his round ranging from Norma to Winchester to surplus. If you do decide to reload, remember what has been stated earlier. The Models 91 thru 97 aren't near as strong as the Model 98 Mausers. If your re-loading keep your tolerances at 45,000 psi and lower.
Lastly collecting Mausers is a very addictive hobby! (partial collection)

Finally got the glass for this rifle. Used it in Kyle Defoor's Adv. Carbine last month and it was well worth it as we were shooting out to 400yds.

A little more high speed than I was used to dealing with in ROTC-land (when I was still part of ROTC-Land), but I was playing a little too much Call of Duty, and decided to spend my graduation and ROTC money on this.
Bushmaster ACR, some of the toys on it:
- Enhanced ACR 7-point Adjustable Stock
- A2-style Birdcage Flash Suppressor
- Gen2 PMags
- EOTech 512 Red Dot Sight
- Magpul MBUS Flip-Up Iron Sights
- Knight's Armament Fore-Grip
Besides the high speed look it shoots like a charm, piston driven system allows for the side-folding/telescoping stock, the bolt carrier group is similar to that in an AR-15 but its a little easier to clean, as not much carbon gets built up on it. Even less recoil than Ar-15 systems (not like they have much recoil to begin with)
Shot 1" groups at 100m, nothing to get a medal over, but the I give more credit to the red dot sight, zero'ed it within 9 shots.
I wish I invested in the tri-rail fore-grip so I could put more mall ninja space shuttle door gunner attachments on it.

Hmm....
Congratulations.
You have exceeded the accuracy potential of the rifle, the ammo, and the optics. You should teach some classes here for us.
Bravo.
