Bramble,

Well I will try this again. I typed out a long reply to answer your reply, and it would not load as it kept telling me this was an invalid form????????

This reply will be shorter as maybe I was too windy?

The rifles I hunt with are a Oberndorf Mauser Type B in caliber 7x57 which was made before WW II. The 9.3x62 is a pre WW II Mauser with 1/2 Oct and 1/2 round barrel, engraved and has all the bels and whistles.

I also have a J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Shul Germany caliber 9x57 in mint condition, 1/2 Oct & 1/2 round barrel with all the bells and whistles.

I also have a 10.75x68 Oberndorf Type B Mauser. This is the rifle that I am considering converting into a .404 Jeffery. Even if I have to replace the barrel, and barrels are not that expensive, I am hoping it will not take much work on the action to convert it to a .404 Jeffery.

If I trade and sell all my Mauser's and purchase Winchester's it will only be because it will make a difference in safety. The Winchester being more safe because less metel will be taken out of the action than on a Mauser. In all honesty I much prefer the Mauser Rifles. My biggest concern is how safe the rifle will be after it is converted to .404 Jeffery.

I have considered just waiting and purchassing a .404 like you stated, but I think it would be faster, easier and cheaper to convert the 10.75x678. Again my concern is safety.
