I was wondering if it would be possible and practical to convert a French MAS 49/56 in 7.5x54 French to 7.62x54r. I am interested in picking one of these up as a C&R rifle and converting it to 7.62x54r to be a fun rifle to blast away at the range on the cheap.
The rifles themselves seem to be of a robust and reliable design, and parts and magazines seem to be pretty cheap. I also think the 7.5 magazines would accept the 7.62 round without modification.
Someone will probably tell me just to get a SVT40, but I've noticed these are much more expensive, and magazines and parts are rare and very expensive.
Opinions are appreciated.
