What I failed to mention, 7.65 take off bbls in exc cond. are plentiful and cheap. As a matter of fact I have one I'd give him for 25 bucks shipping.
Fuq, can't anyone read anymore? OP has an action, wants to make something out of it. Asks some questions and gets told to leave it in 7x57 or shoot it as is in 7.65x53 neither of which are possible with just a complete action.
