Forgive my ignorance; but can a remington 700 barrel in .22-250 be fitted to a m48 mauser? Thanks : 8mmshooter

It can be done, but it's not that simple. You'll have to remove the shank, cut a new one and thread it and then rechamber the barrel. Might be worth the effort if you got the barrel for free.

The guys that are mainly using the Remmy takeoffs are the Turk users, as not as much work is needed to make a 700 bbl fit the small thread receivers. For the large thread receivers a pre-threaded/short-chambered barrel is much less labor intensive.
