Allan's Armory ocassionally has 98 Husky's chambered in 9.3 x 62. If you haven't bought the rifle yet, it might be worth waiting for Allan to get more 9.3 x 62's.

I had a 146 re-chambered from 9.3 x 57 to 9.3 x 62. In addition to the chamber work, you will need to modify the rails and feed ramp. The new reamer case neck diameter and the old were not the same size. After firing, the case neck has a sharp step in it. When loading the magazine, the last one or two cartridges will rock back and forth in the magazine and you have to make sure you press down on the forward section of the last cartridge otherwise the bolt will ride over the top of the cartridge and you end up with an empty chamber. I think this is due to the magazine box being designed for the 8mm and 9.3 mm round and not the 9.3 x 62.

Other than these issues, I like the rifle/cartridge combination. I always wanted a 9.3 x 62 and the style and weight of the 146 convinced me to have the rifle re-chambered.

If you still want to have the rifle re-chambered, make sure the person doing the work addresses the above issues. If I had to do it again, I’d would keep the rifle 9.3 x 57.
