Does my barrel for M98 fit any other action?
I currently have used a barrel from Lothar Walther in my old Mauser 98 action.
Now I want to put that barrel into another action. In many ways I am happy with my M98 action, but it does not look very pretty. So my question is, does this barrel fit into any other controlled feed action?

The picture shows the barrel

� D2 = .75 " (19 mm), � D3 = 1.14" (29 mm), G � = 1.1", 12 threads per inch

It's chambered for 9.3x64, (probably the most versatile caliber on this planet )

It can be fitted to a model 70 or ruger 77 but the threads will have to be redone and the headspace may need correcting.

do you mean as a workable blank or as is?

as a blank, it MIGHT could be changed to fit nearly anything... as a swapper barrel, it will only screw into another 98... and will require a gunsmith to do it
