As for the ole nine three, a little more rifle weight is your friend

Just keep your eyes peeled for a commercial Mauser sporting rifle floating around out there in some used gun rack or pawn shop. Many to choose from, for a cheap rebore.


I have several JC Higgins 50's and 51's but the barrel contour is too light to rebore to 9,3. I've often thought about rebarreling one but I'm always distracted by other longer range projects.
