[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1001137, member: 80288"] Digger, Thanks for the reply. I never really intended to get rid of it, just looking for ideas, but if it is in my Gun locker it has to work or be totally incapable of shooting. Period. I have 4 Grandkids and 7 Great grandkids, almost all of them trained or being trained to shoot as they get old enough and I don't want one of them grabbing it out after I'm gone and trying to shoot it if it isn't safe to shoot. Will probably end up having it re-barreled back into 7 x 57 since almost everything I read relates to the way it was converted, but maybe, just maybe, it could be a shooter and .308 is about all I shoot. I just don't know anything about Mauser's so thought I'd bounce it around a little. Anyway, thanks for the response since it is a viewpoint I hadn't considered. If It is not safe to shoot at all, will probably drill through the chamber and install a drift so it can't be loaded and then restore it to pristine condition and tag where it came from. Thanks again, Bruce [ATTACH]39753.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
