John,
You have a much more vast connection with rifle lunacy but I was wondering if you have heard of anybody converting a 1895 Winchester to 9.3X62. I have a very much bubbized 1895 in 30-40 Krag that I purchased for $350. I thought that it might be a fantastic truck or boat gun if I had it converted and then cerakoted.
I've seen at least three that were converted from .30-06 to 9,3x62 which is a fairly simple rebarrel or rebore job. Converting form a 30-40 is more involved due to the .30-40's larger rim. You may need a new bolt and or other tweaks to he internals.
