Re: I have a Mauser A-Type 9.3x62...could use some advice

Congrats to such a fine piece
When the barrel is so badly worn, and you donīt want a wall hanger I would recommend to make an exact copy of that barrel in its original caliber. So you can use all the rest for rebuilding (incl. the sight) without alteration.
When the kick of the 9,3 was "felt" for you it makes no sense at all to choose the .404 .
Much more kick especially in that configuration and btw more work for adaptation to that cartidge(Magazine,bolt head,stock and sight(height).
.333 is an option , yet versatility and availibility of the 9,3x62 is much more desirable .
Just my 2 cents.
