I saw a special on a M24/47 mauser at Big 5 Sporting goods.

Would this work for a 416 Taylor?

If it can be done, what changes would need to be done?

Are there any other available Mauser actions (Military or commercial) that would work better??

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Saw those too, but I am afraid the 24 action is the short 98 action, and probably unsuitable for the Taylor. Someone else who knows their Mausers will correct me if I am wrong.

The 24/47 is an intermediate length Mauser action. Any round that is as long as the Taylor is probably too long for the 24/47. It can be done but it is a PITA.
A large ring long Mauser action like the 98/22, VZ-24, K98 or a similar Mauser long action would be a better choice.

Thanks for the info - it was too good a deal not to at least research.

I have a 24/47. It is a very good rifle. Very accurate. 8x57 Mauser is a pretty decent round and there is lots of milsurp ammo around. Easy round to handload as well. Makes a great bumming around rifle.
