I do. Funny thing is I sold a 1909 awhile back because I was never going to have it converted. Member on the board turned into one of the nicest Mausers I've ever laid eyes on. Fantastic rig.
But, 1909's suck. So says Mr. Sahvaaahge............

I have also located a Brno in 8x57 that I could have rebored to 9.3x62 and would have a very fine gun. It would be period correct with the old scope in claw mounts

A 9.3X62. needs to built on a M98! It just fits it's history. I built my custom 9.3X62 with a 1909 Argentine action. If feeds smooth and solid. The majority of my rifles are built on Mauser actions.
If it's all original ( no holes drilled and the original bottom metal) it sounds like a good deal.
Terry I would agree but also might look at having the action heat treated. I had a 1909 done by PacMet and I think it adds strength to the action. ddj After heat treating two mauser actions I'll never do it again. Terry

Heat treating is the best way I know of to give a Mauser action a gritty feel. I got one done that was smooth as glass before heat treating, when I got it back the bolt lift and cycling had a notchy (made up word) feel. The next one I got done was also smooth before it went and the bolt would bind after it was returned.
All this can be avoided by not heat treating it. Most are fine without it. Even the 1909's.

Thanks Terry, mines glass, so it must not be, although i run her a little warm with the 175 Speer GS's, i have noticed no lug set-back.

My 1909 9.3X62 has about 500 rounds down the barrel and a hundred years worth of 7.65 Argentines. So far it seems up to the task. I do try not to push ithe pressure real hard though and stop were the loading manual say's to. I personally think that's the secret to it is not abusing it. A few extra grains of powder is worth nothing in the field.

Kind of the same way I treat my older Savage 99's also. If I feel the need to push [bleep] I'll use a different action.

I've seen 09's worked and screwed to 308 Winchester and 300 Win Mag barrels, so how does this action harness these much higher pressure rounds?

Lug setback is always a possibility. As I said, there are better mousetraps for pushing the envelope in.

Most guys ain't likely burning a 1000 rounds of 300 Win mag through their Argentine Mauser.
