Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experiance converting a Mauser to .223 Rem? I have found a few posts where they say that a Turkish Mauser works good because it is a large ring , but small threads, which work well with Remington barrels, others say to start with a blank barrel. Would I want to stay away from small ring models (I.e Model 96)? I understand the bolt face needs extensive work, that doesn't bother me too much at this point, I just want to know which action to start with. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks A lot!,
Rob
