    YES YOU CAN REBARREL TO 6.5x55 AND YES A SWEDE BARREL WILL SCREW ON TO A M-95 ACTION. HEADSPACE IS ANOTHER MATTER THOUGH, IT MAY BE SHORT, RIGHT ON, OR LONG...ONLY YOUR GUNSMITH WILL KNOW FOR SURE. A M-95 WILL ALSO BE STRONG ENOUGHT FOR THE 8MM MAUSER COMMERCIAL LOADINGS BUT SOME (MOST?) SURPLUS MIL. AMMO WILL HAVE TOO MUCH PRESSURE.
