IDnumber 232 Caliber 6,5x55 Model 6,5/94 Lös ptr 17 Projectile form Projectile weight - Projectile material - Projectile type Blank Colour markings V0 mps V0 fps - Propellant Propellant weight Gram Propellant weight Grain - The blank 6,5x55 ammunition m/17 is a ammunition intended for the m/94 carbine rifles used for ceremonial use and for shooting salute. The m/94 carbines has un-threaded mussels of the barrels, so it is not possible to mount a blank firing device for the use of the normal wooden projectile blanks. Therefore the need arouse for a new type of blanks in the Swedish defense, one with a star crimped mouth. The order went to the company Stockholms vapenfabrik as none of the regular suppliers were able to start such a small scale production as asked for. The base for the m/17 ammunition is live or blank 6,5x55 ammunition were the projectile is removed, and a crimp is done to the case mouth. The tip is sealed with red lacquer. As the cases is reused means that there is no new head stamp created for this ammunition, it can have any factory code or year. The new factory code 680 is only to be found on the box itself.
