6MM Black Widow

[1lessdog]

What is this cartridge? There a gun auction and there are two rifles chambered in 6MM Black Widow plus dies and chamber reamers.

Any help would be appreciated.

The action is what i would think is called Black Widow by Farley not the chamber. Got pics?

There also selling a chamber reamer in 6MM Black Widow.

I think that looks like a Manson reamer, maybe give them a try and see if they can fill in the details?

Yes it says Manson 04/08.

I have a call and email into Manson for some help.

Yes it says Manson 02/08.

They would have the details you want, I would throw them a line and see what they say.
Anything that is a Wildcat is subject to customer inputs that can make it different, (and even some CIP/SAMI ones can be subject to this too).

A go gauge in 6MM Black Widow

Just chewing fat.... but I tend to look right past the barrel and view the value of the deal as the durable parts.

Nothing wrong with the deal if it is right and you also like the cartridge and barrel, but the barrel and reamer are a consumable and should only be weighed in your trade off if you really want to run that cartridge.

You can just as easily change that barrel and chamber any other 6mm variant that fits the bolt face, and in some actions you can just as easily change the bolt face size as well.

Good Luck with the auction in any case, and in for the range reports if you win the bidding.
