Hi:

Anybody know how difficult it is to find 6.5x54mm ammo? How about getting a 5-shot rotary clip for a Steyr in that caliber? I'm thinking models Y 1903/14 and 1903/14/30...

Thanks!

Finding a rotary magazine might take you a little while.

The only new 6.5x54MS that I have ever seen and purchased for my Mannlicher-Schoenauer model 1903 was RWS (Dynamite Nobel). They still list it in their catalog but you might have to special order it through your local gun shop. It's not cheap.

I have found some old Norma in 6.5x54 at gun shows but not in a LONG time.

My 1903 MS is one of my favorite hunting guns and the first large caliber rifle I ever purchased.

Not hard to find components, ammo may be

Items will go in and out of stock. I seem to remember Prvi making the brass and it being available at Grafs, but apparently no more.
