I have a '91 Mauser with a rather stunning piece of military wood that I've redone into a pretty decent sporter over the years. For some reason in my dotage I have been thinking it would be better off in a different caliber than it currently is, which is not a 7,65.

Any of you gunsmiths out there willing to indulge a dotty old man by rebarreling it to .35 Remington? It would likely also need a bit of feed ramp modification to feed such large, blunt bullets - I've tried some in the magazine and they run straight into the bottom of the ramp.

Anyway, happy to hear from you.

Been there, done that, got the T shirt.

Handload it with 215 grain bullets and it will feed and smoke the 35 Rem.

True - if it were still a 7,65x53 I'd be very happy to use those 215s or even 174s. Long ago in my mis-spent youth, however, it became something else. I wasn't wise enough back in the sixties to leave well enough alone.
