Chi-com 6.5X55 swede
I saw the rifle 3 years ago while visiting that particular brother in law. I, my wifes oldest brother (the one who unpacked it when it arrived from Korea) & the son of the bro who picked it up, spoke about it over the past Thanksgiving holiday. He asked me for an idea as to its value, I said I'd try to assertaln same.
The rifles story is well known by many relatives & friends. You'll just have to take my word on it, as it is not, nor will be for sale.
My gunsmith who knows more than I'll ever know, wasn't one bit suprised, says stranger things have occured. You can also take a look at the article in the last issue of Rifle (I think) Mag about British SMLE sniper rifles not being made just by H&H.
He11, my wifes oldest bro says he carried a 1903 Springfield 30-06 in Korea. I can't find any record of those being used in that conflict but don't doubt his honesty at all ..... again, stranger things have happened and records aren't always accurate or complete, eh? Logistics nightmare or not the rifle was in use during that conflict
Pictures are not avaliable from me due to it's being many miles from here & have no plans to visit as I get sick when I venture east of the Mississippi River.
The Chi-com Swede's story will have to wait for another day.
