    Even if the barrel was cut back and then rechambered for 7x57 the magazine will be to short to accept the cartridges. Why you would even bother when the ballistic performance difference between the...

    A few points to consider: Any load-bearing recessed corners should always have a radius rather than a sharp corner to reduce the possibility of stress cracks. Good steels and alloys don't cost much...

    The old 92's had a fairly thin barrel and a drop of water, snow, or mud in the muzzle could cause a bulge right at the muzzle which is very hard to see. If the barrel looks good to the eye from the...
