Tradex 6.5x55 barrels

[r.fallon]

Hi can these swedish 6.5x55 barrels easily be installed on a K98az reciever?

 

[tiriaq]

No. Shank diameter is different.

 

[Why not?]

Not easily, however they can be bushed and threaded to fit the 98 receiver.

They fit the 96 action not the 98 action.

But, will they fit a Norwegian krag easily??? Sure would like to change my barrel to something that doesn't look like a subway tunnel(DARK)!!!JITC

 

[Why not?]

The Krag uses left hand threads. Same as for the 98, bush the barrel tenon and rethread.
