Good lord! Did I miss something? There was a time when being a gunnut meant going out of one's way to shoot cartridges that required spending time at the reloading bench. Back then, "Handloader Magazine" was, by far, my favourite gun rag.
Now, I get it -- not everyone wants to spend their winter evenings neck turning brass. But c'mon -- necking up some brass to fit a 9.3x57mm isn't that hard.
Kids these days... Sheesh!

There is even a few threads on CGN about forming 9.5x57 brass. Just get a Hornady die set like one poster says and form in one pass. Some guys like playing around with stuff like this.

There was a handful of 8x57s when I looked yesterday, looks like they're down to only a few now. Would have bought one if there wasn't a gun show coming up in a few weeks that I'm saving my pennies for.
By the time one buys the die, bullets, brass, powder, primers and reloading equipment you'll exceed the purchase price of these 80+ year old guns by min 300%.Good lord! Did I miss something?

I'm not dissing the capabilities of the cartridge at all but these rifles are not a deal as some would like you to believe.
On top of that lots come with a bunch of issues, too. Cracked or wobbly (with action screws fully tighened) stocks, drilled and tapped out of center, tapped for metric base screws, questionable modified bolt handles, missing iron sights, buggered screw heads, - you name it...
So, why are these "heirloom" pieces so "inexpensive" ? Because where are they coming from the previous owners don't want them anymore, en masse !
Yah, I remember that episode Wasn't there mag well problems so it could only hold a certain kind of ammo ? PPU, IIRC...
Probably not so little that it would be economical. X62s can be had pretty cheap for the exact same reason as these guns - ample supply from Euro countries who limit the number of guns you can own.
Demand for the x62s is higher than x57s, so you'll pay more, but they're still very affordable.
