I saw the post on a rechamber to 7.62x54R. Got me thinking. I have always wanted a 9.3x62 Mauser. I don't have a good reason for getting a 9.3x62. That in itself is an excellent reason to get a gun I don't need.
So, any barrel that has the same head size as a 308 or 30-06 is a candidate. I guess I need enough meat on the barrel for reboring. I would probably send it to the usual suspect in Oregon to have the rebore and conversion done. Would the Handi take the stress of a 286gr bullet?
I can see the gunrag article now, "Handi's in Africa, A firsthand report".
I know I am delusional, but I think the conversion just might work?
