Brownells sells a Wilson military contour 308 barrel that is short
chambered for large ring Mauser (it is a hi quality barrel )
special tools are required to remove and instal barrel, finish the chamber,
correctly instaling the sights
it is cheaper to have a gunsmith do the work rather than you
purchasing all the tools
the large ring Mauser ( 98's, Chechs, yugos and others ) have an action
stong enough for the 308 and no other modifications of the receiver
are required
I have converted several and prefer the military cotour rather than a
sporter contour ( thiner and less weight but can change point of impact when they heat up and no iron sights ) or a bull barrel ( can only use the scope, no iron sights and much heavier )
