[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 2143008, member: 10178"] You will not get a fully chambered barrel that you can just screw on and be ready to go. The barrels are only partly chambered. You have to ream them a little at a time using head space gauges. These barrels are also sometimes really hard to remove. If you don't have the proper vice and action wrench you can and most like will warp your action. Unless you have the tools and really understand what you are doing GET A GUNSMITH to replace the barrel. You may find that it is best to just leave the old rifle alone and shoot it the way it is and take all that money and purchase you a new rifle. By the way that is a "small ring Mauser". It will not safely handle loads over 46000 CUP even with a new barrel. Keep in mind the rifle is also around 100 years give are take old. I have been fooling with these old rifles over 50 years.
