Can this action be rebarrelled to 222 Remington, or will there be magazine follower, feedrail, etc. problems? Thanks for your help
It is 7.62x39 now

Bolt face is too large for the 222. 22-250 may work depending on mag dimensions

As said, the boltface is too large for the .222. Conversion to .22-250 can be done and may have even been a factory offering in the Mini Mauser. You could make a .22 PPC out of it.
I built one into a 6.5 Grendel and it was sweet.

Not with out a lot of work BUT it would make a dandy 22 PPC.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
Make mine a Minaska

Do as I did on my 7.62X39 mini mauser. Chamber it in 220 Russian. Lots of brass available and is BR accurate. ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.tinypic.com/353447q.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.tinypic.com/b3tyxy.jpg)
