The M55 is a lovely rifle and I do regret not getting one when I had the chance. Personally I think it would be wrong to chop it up as they are quite scarce albeit reasonably cheap as well.

Is this to replace the AI?

It is indeed, unfortunately times are not as fluid as they once were ...

Is the barrel fluted ? It could well be an m65 super sport which were made on the long action but chambered in .308win. It will be a full length magazine but with a spacer fixed inside the front of the mag to accommodate the short .308 rounds . If you don't need the mag I'll happily buy it but it would IMHO be sacrilege to f_ck up such a beaty of a rifle - I've got one - I know.

I have a M65 in L/H, had it for years. It started off as Deer/Fox rifle then had it converted into a target rifle, because having trouble getting leftie T/R, now it has been reconverted into F/class. Never thought of getting rid of it. I had it serviced when reconverted and was told that the barrel was still in brilliant nick, no need to change it.
I would say go for it.
