Moddifying a M 98 for 425 WR or 404J?
      08/06/10 12:36 PM


With my 9x57mm off to the gunsmiths yesterday, I've already started to think about my next one.

Looks like I've been bitten by the big bore bug and since I've recently fallen for the perfection of the M98 design, I'm thinking about building one up in 425WR or 404J.

From all accounts significant effort is required in opening up a M98 for the 404J. I know its not impossible but it looks like a lot of effort and it may end badly if someone doesn't know what they are doing.

So I have started to think about the 425WR. Early indications suggest that it may have feeding issues due to the significantly rebated rim, however I would like to hear from anyone who has actually modified a M98 for this cartridge. I my mind, a rebated rim should still feed better than a belted rim dragging on things.

What magazine is required as it appears that the 425WR is only about 0.3mm longer than the OAL of a 9.3x62mm?

Regards

George
