Caution to Mr. Debee:
I have a Mauser ESB340 22 LR action that was ruined by a former owner trying to convert it to 22 WMRF. He didn't use a real chamber reamer and the cases will not extract, among other bad things. I have similar ideas of using this action in the future for a really cool rimfire sporter. But it won't be 22 WMRF because if a misfire occures, the 22 WMRF with bullet is too long to clear the ejection port openning and will jamb up. As some of the Anschutz actons are supposed to be based on olf Mauser designs, I would want to be sure that 22 WMRF would feed and eject flawlessly before I invested in an Anschutz action. litte flaws could cause big problems as the old Germans did not anticipate 22 WMRF. I don't mean to discourage you, I have similar ideas myself.
My problem is that the ESB340 action is single shot, and if I spent a lot of money on this, I would want it to be a magazine repeater and don't know if this could be done.
