The short actions; M48, 24/47, 03 Turk, and 38 Turk are not good candidates for 30-06 or 8mm-06 conversion.
A better candidate is the VZ24, and still, there is steel to be filed out of the magazine to make it longer.
I am satisfied with 8x57, 7x57, 6.5x55, 6mm Rem, 6.5x57, and 257 Roberts length cartridges in surplus Mauser actions. I have also gone shorter, with 308, 243, and 45acp.
