My Grandfather recently passed away, and left each of us a Mauser he liberated in WWII. He was in Czechoslavakia (sp?) and found an American fighting for the Germans. He was given a half doz mausers pre-1936, and the unit he got them from was a German unit. They are in pretty good shape (85%), but I would like to rechamber one in 30-06 and give it to my son. My questions are:
1. Will I be ruining a valuable firearm, or are these fairly plentiful?
2. Can I rechamber this firearm for 30-06, or is that not practical?
3. Where can I go to get info on this rifle?
