Hello,
I'm looking to convert an Interarms MkX (commercial mauser action) from 300 Winchester magnum to 375 H&H. Does anyone know of a good gunsmith with relatively short lead times who will re-barrel a Mauser? I'm in Kingsland, so taking my project to NE FL is very viable. I don't want to deal with shipping and am willing to drive a few hours.
I know that there are easier ways to get a good 375, but I got this for free and I want something to tinker with. I know I could install a pre-fit barrel myself, but I don't want to wait 12 weeks to get a barrel and deal with renting chamber reamers. It would be easier/cheaper to get a contoured blank and pay someone who knows what they're doing to swap the barrel. Other than the barrel swap, I can handle glass bedding, scope mounting, trigger fitting, etc.
Any ideas ya'll?
Thanks,
Biometrician
