I knew that cartridge adapters have been used to convert 30-06 to 308 for some time, but I just ran across an adapter that lets an -06 or a 308 (different adapters of course) chamber 7.62x39 ... see it at http://www.eabco.com/sale8.html ... having reloaded for my 7.62x39, I know that the vast majority (all except some ruger mini-30's) came with .310 or .311 barrels ... so is it safe to shoot standard 7.62x39 ammo out of a rifle so converted ... It seems like the pressure HAS to be elevated ... but then the 308 and the 06 are higher pressure rounds. What do you think ... I have an "extra" Turkington 308 that I made from a Rem700 take-off and a Turk 38 action (Side note: Turkingtons are a addictive habit once you get one right ) and it seems that the versitility of being able to feed it both of the 2 most plentiful centerfire rounds in existance would be nice.
Question #2: The ad states that you can reverse the conversion easily ... once reversed, do you toss the adapter or can you switch at will?
Thanks in advance,
