I know, I know, there are a buttload of posts in the archives on this topic. That's the problem, there are alot of posts to wade through.
I'm mostly just curious, although given the price of a large ring mauser, its a little more then curiousity....
First, the most common surplus seems to be the 48 mauser. Is this a direct clone of the '98?
Second, How hard is headspacing a barrel onto one of these rifles?
Third, what else needs to be done to convert one to .308, or potentially .30-06?
I take it the rounds will feed and extract...does the internal magazine need to be modified?
Any recommendations on inexpensive stocks? What about the ATI stock?
