Please, I need your knowledge. What are the internal dimension of the conversion magazine for Mauser Argentino 1909, with barrel rechambered in 9,3 x 62.- I need 4 or 5 cartridges in the magazine and with the normal dimension of 7,65 x 53, only put 3.- Sorry for my bud English. Thanks in advance. Hector

Hello Hector

I have a factory Mauser Sporting rifle in 9.3x62, however its in storage so not so readily accessible.

I'll try and get it out tonight to measure for you.

Cheers

Thank you in advance for your effort. I wait your news. Regards.

Well Hector the results:

Mauser Model B Sporter (Factory) in 9.3x62 - holds 5 down.
Internal mag box dimensions;
Bottom (i.e. at the floorplate) 84.0x23.2x19.2
Top 85.0x23.0x19.6
Internal depth (front and rear) 30.7, 36.0

I am not a machinist so these may not be absolute.

I have a sporter made up from a military action with a Portuguese bottom metal, it will hold 5 down in 257 Roberts or 7x57, but only 4 with 9.3 x62. Its dimensions are 84.2x22.4x18.4.

From what I have read Mauser also designed the follower specific to each cartridge, I believe there is a post somewhere here with the formula for this but I can't find it.

Hope this helps - good hunting

Thank you very much.

I made up a 9.3x62 on a VZ24 with a Springfield magazine. Holds five down and feeds well. Problem free solution for me, but depends on what you want as a result.
