The only real problem is the cartridge length

And the Mauser shoulder being 1mm shorter

The receiver can't accommodate that

The barrel can't accommodate that

The action can't accommodate that

You'd have to replace the whole gun

And it's a stupid idea

But it can tho

It's not a fundamentally dumb idea but adapting existing platforms for it would be difficult.

You can't just extendo the receiver and expect it to go well

a 7.62 NATO chamber and action is already rated for the pressure

That's not how that works

So enlighten us.

So the problem is milling the chamber to properly fit 7.92x57

Rofl let him speak a minute

Then you can fit a 7.92 barrel

It's a text chat you dumb fuck

The action of a 7.62 NATO to saami spec is rated for a similar pressure but for probably half the time

Not like you screaming over people in VC

Oh and a 7.62 and 7.92 barrel are in fact different

You're talking before he has a chance to respond you barbarian

7.92 barrel is 0.3mm wider, yeah.

Although you should use either 5R or polygonal

And if you can make it or have it made, it's not a stretch for it to have the appropriate mounting points for whatever receiver you want

It's not just the bore

An 8mm round has nearly twice the interference

Would lubing my gun's barrel make the bullets go faster out the end because less resistance?

An 8mm projectile to spec is actually above 8mm.

8.2mm

precisely

Which is why this hinges on getting a new barrel made for 7.92

The interference you'd get in a .308 bore would be .0160

Which is boom

NEW BARREL

A 7.92 BARREL

For the love of God if you're already making a new barrel make a new chamber too

WHAT AREN'T YOU GETTING

And the chamber being modified to accept 8mm Mauser Rofl. And probably the magazines.

>Washer
>Chamber

All of these are no

lmao do you metallurgy
