JES has did several rifle for me over the last few years, what i have a is 8mm that is shortened to about 18" and it has seen a lot of use in its earlier days, so what I figured I could do a rechamber/rebore and make something very usable, i consider the 9.3 kind of a step sister to the 35 whelen or visa versa so I have heard they will work pretty good in short barrel configuration. Just trying to make something out a old war horse that is a bit used up at the moment.
