The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - How much am I looking at here...Steyr M95

Around here, I could probably get that done for $450-650, including the barrel and hot-bluing any parts that require it (but not the complete rifle).

However, that doesn't include any magazine or clip modifications. That's the key here, and I don't have a suggestion for how to approach that issue. I'm not familiar enough with the M95.

If you were able to go to .45-70, it would actually save a bit of money, too. Rather than having the bolt face bushed and milled, it would just have to be opened a bit.

I wonder if 7.62x54R would be close enough to only need a rebarrel...?
(I don't have any manuals handy, or I would check.)
