Ok i love swedish blondes i just cant pass them up.
« on: February 22, 2014, 05:28:06 AM »
I found a Swedish revolver that's similair to a nagant. It's in 7,5mm Swede.
My dumb question is, is it the same as the 7,62 nagant?
If not can we buy 7,5 Swede ammo?

Crazy:  Nope, not the same round at all.  The 7.5mm Swiss Army Revolver round came in both smokeless and black powder and is fully interchangeable with the 7.5mm Swedish and Norwegian rounds, if you can ever find any.  Norma made ammo for the Swedish Nagantand this  ammo can be used in the Swedish revolver.  I think Fiocchi still makes the ammo.  It's about on par with the 32 S&W long.
 
The round appears to be a slightly tapered revolver rimmed round with a very slight bottleneck - sort of like going from 8mm to 7.5mm, that slight.  It is not a powerful round, firing a 100-110 gn lead bullet at approximately 700'/sec.  The revovlers were said to be well made and nicely finished in contrast to the Russian Nagant.  HTH.

Hello Mikey. Thanks I seen a list somewhere all the rounds are different nothing standardized like today.
Every 7.5 I look at is different. Thanks.


I'd like to have the Swede instant revolver just because it's a Swede Husqvarna but I can justify the cost.
