Dezynko,It certainly can be done,to rebarrel a Mauser to .308.One caution,the action was designed for a certain case taper.The .308 is a little fatter at the shoulder.It doesn't stack and feed in the Mauser very well sometimes without modification.I would not count on it being just a rebarrel job.

Do you know about the Montana Rifleman action?
