does anyone here know if a small ring turkish mauser can be converted to a 35 whelen? i was looking it up the 8mm has a max PSI or 50,000 and the 35's is 52,000
so any ideas?

Thanks Link23

If the gun already is in 8mm Mauser (same head size), and the magzine is long enough, it will fly. Czech mausers are too short in the mgazine IIRC.

I made a 35 Whelen out of a Czech 98/22 and it fed fine from the magazine without any alterations. I thought it was the Yugo m48 that had the slightly shorter than normal action.

I was referring to a BRNO 24/47. It may work, but I have been told the magazine is too short.

If it is a full length (8.75") action, it will work fine. If it is the intermediate length action (8.50") it might be a better idea to go .358 Win instead of fighting with it trying to make it feed properly.
