[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 640504, member: 6705"] The biggest problem will be the bolt head. The 7.62x54 has a rim diameter larger than the standard magnum. You'll have to find a smith to open a magnum bolt head up a bit. The rim may also be a problem getting them to fead from a magazine. The rim might catch on the feed lips. You'll also need the .312" barrel. A standard .308 barrel wouldn't work. You might be able to fix those issues, but it will be a lot of work just to shoot junk ammo. [/QUOTE]
