More likely to be 6.5x54 Mannilicher (Greek) as butler's rangers said.  In the late 50s, early 60s there was a company known as Global Firearms Company and Globe Firearms Ltd, who had offices in Toronto and NY.  I'll bet the chamber has been lined.  You'd have to set a 6.5 x55 back awfully far to get the smaller 6.5x54 chamber, I think.  The reasoning behind it was that Dominion was producing 6.5x54 and it was more available than 6.5x55.  This is not the only Krag project Global had going.  They also made up some sporters with new barrels, stocks, and sights.  These were in .308!  Global Arms Model 777 will turn up a few examples.  I also stumbled upon one that a Canadian has in .243, and he is shooting factory ammo through it!  I think I'll pass on running what could be a SAAMI max 62000PSI load through a Krag!
