    I might have a couple of new unthreaded 7.62x39 Baikals left. There is one threaded at least, I am sure, and I know there are three that have been threaded. Wooden (birch) stocks. The only thing I was worried about was twist rates. I dont know what twist is in the Baikals and I dont know what is best in 303.

    Standard twist for the 7.62x39 is 1:9.5" .303 1:10" no real difference re-chambering the Baikal is the only to get a new .303 with out costing a pile of cash
