Are L61R barrels compatible with large or small ring mausers, or can they somehow be made to fit without setting back past the threads? Thanks Matt Matt FISH!!

SAKO L61R barrel thread is 16V TPI and diameter 1,046", older models of L61 diameter is 1". Large ring Mauser has 12V TPI and diameter is 1,10". | |||

If memory serves the L61 is 16 TPI and 1.046 shank diameter. The small ring Mauser 12 TPI 55 degree with a .980 diameter shank. The large ring Mauser is 12 TPI 55 degree with a 1.100 inch shank. Practical double depth of 16 TPI is about .060 inch so you could wipe the threads off the Sako barrel and rethread it to the small ring Mauser. You would have to cut a bit off the thread extension and recut the chamber. The 98 Mauser no. You would have to knock off the entire thread extension and start from scratch. When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!
