[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 947451, member: 10178"] Even though the Spanish did re-barrel the actions made for 7X57 for 7.62X51 this action is NOT really built to handle pressures above 45000 CUP of the old 7X57. This is a small ring Mauser action. Any gunsmith worth his salt will not barrel one of these for these higher pressure rounds. If you want a Mauser action there are plenty of cheaper large ring 1898 actions around and they are made to handle that pressure. [/QUOTE]
