I wouldn't call a 22-250 weird either; just hated to think of making a PPC work as a "first project". I'd think a 250-3000 could be made to work as well.

One other question; are you new to machining altogether or just the particulars of gunsmithing? Buying a pre-contoured barrel can be worth the money if you want to minimze how much new stuff you've got to absorb on one project.

I think Gun Parts Corp sells a kit convert a Mauser to 7.62x39. I have a Mexican 1910 that was converted, it feeds very well, holds 6 in the magazine. They welded up the extractor to make it work.

after heating the metal with a propane torch.. Good stuff..

I noticed that they now offer 44-40 in the paste form, I ordered a sampling for a test drive along with some Dicropan IM. Maybe Ill get this rust blueing thing down someday.

For books and info on gunsmithing try AGI, The American Gunsmithing Institute. www.americangunsmith.com

Also pick up a copy of The Mauser Bolt Action: A Shop Manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen. I know Midway USA has it (www.midwayusa.com)
