I guess I'm just full of questions tonight but other than changing the barrel what else would have to happen to get a model M24/47 Yugoslavian Mauser converted to .308? I guessing that the frame would be strong enough seeing that the .308 is a 30-06 cut down and the 30-06 and 8mm are close but how about the bolt? the only other thing that might cause problems is the Mag but that's the least of my problems. Thank you.
