Gun and gear reviews Its your fault

Post image

This is all your guys fault. I always browsed Intersurplus.com but never really bought anything until today. Seeing you guys buying up all the good deals I had no choice, bought this earlier, as a side note. So far intersurplus has been great to deal with. I haven't received the firearm yet but so far they are very organized and professional.

I got a side by side shotgun from them,  but now wonder about a nice 3006 rifle! Looks like you and me are doing things in reverse of each other!

Ya get one dude, they are very affordable and you can't beat it from Surplus.. Just make sure it's a real 30-06 and not a drilled out 6.5x55. This is very common amongst gustafs,stigas, some husqvarnas, and some other brands.

How can u tell if its drilled out? Will the advertisement mention it?

This is a good question, I used A.I primarily to determine what is and what isn't in its native caliber. As a general rule. Most war era rifles from Europe were not chambered in 30-06. they were chambered in 6.5 swed (6.5x55) oR chambered in 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm). The difference between 6.5x55 and 30-06 is minimal enough that they could machine some material out from these old guns repurposing them for hunting or sport . This is what's referred to as "Sporterized"
