6.5mm RSV ????? (PIC ADDED)
« on: November 16, 2011, 01:21:47 PM »
Hi,
Found a contender with a BB barrel labeled 6.5mm RSV . Not familiar with this cartridge? Any idea of parent cartridge? Ballistics?

Any input appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

I'd e-mail bulberry and ask them since their name is on the barrel!

Emailed Bullberry with picture attached, here is response:
 
You are the second person to inquire about the RSV.  Unfortunately we don't know.  We would have to see it and measure it to be sure.  Don't know if it is just a customer's initials or what.  Did you buy this barrel?  If so, just send it our way so we can check it out.  If not, your guess is as good as ours at this point.  Wish I had a better answer for you on this one.  September did say though that if you have bought it we will check it out, refinish it and engrave it with the correct caliber for you for free.  The other person who contacted us about it acturally called the pawn shop that has it listed and they didn't know what the caliber was either.
 
We may never KNOW ;)

Now that was an enlightening answer.

Hell, if it's a good price on the gun I'd buy it.  I don't think you could go wrong with any 6.5 caliber!!!  You might end up with a nice shooting iron!
