If you need help PM me a number and we can chat live. Installing the mag adapter is trivially easy even for people that are so mechanically inept that they could cause a catastrophe with an extravagant gesture. Spinning on the new barrel is just like doing a Savage barrel and requires minimal special tools. Getting the factory barrel off is sometimes a bit fun but it's totally something you can do yourself in your garage. 45acp loads it's pretty quiet and has very little recoil. I've been able to get 2050fps from 230gr pills in it but those loads are so far off book that I don't encourage their use by people without a lot of experience wildcatting. 45acp) since the action is strong enough. 460rowland brass cut back to SAAMI length for. One of the really cool bits is that it's totally ok to use. Feeding reliability relies on it liking the mag and cycling the bolt with authority. Can you show or tell us some more about it? Aside from opening up the bolt face, what other modifications did you have to do? Did you reconfigure the claw on the extractor so that it looks like the ones on Siamese Mausers & P14 Enfields? Did you fabricate an angled magazine box, or make inserts to go inside the existing mag box? Is it single or double stack? What modifications did you make to the follower? Details please.I've built a number of these. (the 303 British would work with that bolt head & action too)īut with all that fevered thinking and planning you've gone and shown me a 30-30 Mauser, and now the gears in my head are spinning too fast! I'm intrigued about this gun. I'd have to grind out the guide rib in the receiver, and figure out an angled magazine box, but with time and perspiration it's a conversion that could work. Then I could use this to do a conversion on the Mauser to 30-40 Krag. I have been fiddling with the notion of cutting the head off of a '93 bolt (the '95 bolts are getting a little scarce) and attaching the magnum bolt head from a Savage 110 to it. I've got a couple of 1895 Chilean actions sitting in a box in the cabinet, and a 30 caliber barrel blank, and was wondering what I could do with them. That small ring conversion to 30-30 by Texas by God looks very interesting. This improves the ejection and slightly shortens the bolt throw. An alteration that I've found really useful when converting a small ring Mauser to 7.62x39 is to modify the ejector box assembly from a type 99 Arisaka to fit the receiver. On the whole, this is a fun conversion, and the rifles in this caliber are really handy. I'm doing another 7.62x39 conversion on a '93 Spanish action for my younger brother, and I anticipate that it will have the same teething pains as the project progresses. There is some fitting and tweeking that needs to be done, but the conversion is do-able. I did a 7.62x39 conversion on a 1894 Brazilian a couple of years ago and it works great. The flat bottom of the '93 bolt seemed like a natural to help with feeding, and I never tried the round later production bolt face. One could try several different extractors before they started grinding. I didn't have any trouble with the extraction, but that seems to be an individual problem that could be solved with some fitting. It's a fun conversion to make and shoot, but the bolt cycle is long because it still has to travel the original distance across the spacer block to pick up the shorter 7.62x39mm cartridge.

and is powered by a pair of coil springs rather than the conventional "Z" spring. The one shown is actually plastic and came from GP Corp. The most difficult part of the conversion is the follower. Here a piece of light weight channel iron was tack welded to the rear of the box.

The magazine box can be shortened by putting a spacer in the rear. I still have mine, but it doesn't see much use anymore because I got a Mk X Mini-Mauser in 7.62x39mm.
