Hi All.
Lots of talk of this, but has anyone done it? Just got an E series 243 ( never had luck with that round. Bought it for everything but the barrel) and I do like the old 35.
Am thinking of doing a 24 inch barrel with aperture sight.
My question is, are there any feed issues? No point if it won't feed 100%. Got the rifle on layaway, so I can't check it. Also the rear of the chamber on a 243 is larger than on a 35 Remington, so it may work in the larger hole, but jam on the proper one. I don't need the power of the 358 and recoil and me are not friends. Besides, I have dies, brass and bullets for the 35 Remington.
So. To those who have done it, how did it turn out?
Thanks!
