I got this mauser from a guy at work for dirt cheap. It's a german wermacht 1915 stamped 8mm item. The barrel is shortened to maybe 24 or so inches and the front sight is reattached.
I've heard of people rechambering the "Mauser action" for other calibers. I've also read about the 8mm being a powerful caliber to use on medium to large and dangerous game.
So, what does it cost to rechamber one? What kind of calibers can a mauser action use. Anything like .375 h&h? Are there any inherent weaknesses to this particular gun? Is it a big waste of time to even bother.
thanks.
