I know short action mags are said to 'work' with the 35 Rem, but so far, no go and I ain't buying any more.


It's an early model, before they drilled/tapped them, I think it's 1954 or 55.


And if a rechamber, who?

Thanks

I had one rechambered to 358Win years ago. I sold off the 35Rem mag and used a 308 magazine w/o any issues at all. It was a good conversion but I would not do it to a nice condition 35Rem 760. Mine was a beater.
