Can anyone give me some direction as to which milsurp mauser actions would be suitable to rebarrel as a 7.62 for a sporter or scout rifle?
I am particularly concerned with the feeding of the cartridges from a magazine designed for long action cartridges.
I would like to be able to keep using the stripper clip guide after conversion, so I don't know if a spacer in the rear of the magazine well would be appropriate to make up for the difference in length.
As a side note, before the flames ignite, I have no intention of destroying or bubba-izing a pristine or otherwise collectible weapon.
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
