[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1231481, member: 24284"] A Howa 1500, 'long' or 'short', is not the same as a FN Mauser. What they have in common is they are both centerfire rifles. The stocks are not interchangable. The Shilen barrels you mentioned,, those aren't 'drop-in'. The use of a finish chambering reamer will be required. In yrs. past, I believe it was Douglas that offered barrels that were 'deep chambered', where a reamer wouldn't be needed, but a lathe was still needed to adjust the tenon length until proper head space was achieved. If you're looking for 'drop-in', I suggest that the Mauser should be sold and a Savage or Remington 700 be purchased instead as 'drop-in' IS available for them. [/QUOTE]
