Guys: I need your wisdom here. I have a small ring 98 action (3 lugs in the bolt) Mexican Mauser Carbine (Made by DWM). The original barrel is 7 x57 but its really worn out. So I have the option of putting a 308 barrel on it.
The idea is to keep it original as possible (Same carbine Stock, by the way is in very good shape) but transform it in to a Scout carbine/rifle.
The 308 barrel is the only option I have now, because is the only one I can get NEW here in Mexico. I like the 7 x 57 or the 6.5 x 55, but I cant get a new barrel in those calibers only in 308.
What do you think?????? Any opinions are welcome
By the way the 308 is legal in Mexico as are must rifle calibers.
