I'm very familiar with the .308 USN conversion (chamber sleeve & mag-well spacer).
My current interest is for a "Tanker" carbine conversion to .35Whelen or .375Whelen (brush gun), and a standard rifle configuration to something around 6.5x72mm, while retaining full use of the semi-auto functions.
My initial concerns are gas pressures, porting, operating parts inertia (battering) etc.
Has anyone any experience with these sorts of conversions that they're willing to share?
Are there any online custom conversion sites or forums that address such issues?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
