Howdy,
I have been hunting for an action for a rifle project and had some questions. I have a barrel chambered in 7x57, threaded for a small ring mauser. I also have a stock for a mauser 93,95,96. I was just about to break down and buy the carbine length sweede(m38 or some such), but then I noticed that the 6.5x55 has a different case head size than the 7x57.
Will this be a major job to convert the bolt to chamber 7x57? Would it be better to just keep looking for a small ring mauser action that was originally chambered in 7x57?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Mike
