About to purchase a 1909 Argentine in sporter stock. Has original 7.65 barrel. Should get for a good price and looking to convert it to a truck gun. Want the following done: D and t for scope mounts -ground hump if necessary. Thinking of a 4x fixed scope. Change original safety to scope friendly version. Bed rifle if necessary. Modify/replace bolt handle for scope. Keeping in mind that this will be a functional truck gun not a work of art, who can I send it to? Thanks | ||

Leave barrel 29 inches long? | |||

I'd shoot it first to determine the barrel will meet your accuracy needs. Some were re-chambered to .30-06 too. Check for stiff bolt lift after firing which may indicate setback of the lug seats. A 20 in inch barrel would work well for vehicle transport. | |||

He said was still 7.65 caliber. | |||

Well, he said it was in original 7.65 caliber. A guy brought one into the shop recently and said that. It had been re-chambered to 30-06. Technically correct, it was 7.65 caliber. 7.65x63 though.

I meant he PM'd me and the ad said it was in original 7.65x53. But as you said, anything is possible. | |||

Get a junker for your truck gun and treat that '09 with a little more respect. KJK | |||

Sounds like it is a "junker" | |||

Warne sells bases for unmodified LR mausers. Can leave the hump alone. | |||

Your on the right track for the "truck" go with a 20" barrel, even an 18" wont give up much with the right powder..I had a savage 99 with a 18" barrel in 308 and loved it for saddle and truck lost 80 too a 100 fps on average fps.
