Gentlemen,
I'm looking at building the equivalent of a 6.5 dasher in a Mini-Mauser action, and find myself running into more walls than usual. Upon close inspection of the action, naturally post-purchase, The barrel threads are METRIC!!!!!!!!! Like many amateurs with older equipment, my lathe won't do the m-word. Any ideas on where I can get it barreled without being completely cost prohibitive? I figured the body could be cut with a dasher reamer & 6.5 pilot, neck and throat with nearly any 6.5 reamer,6.5-06, 260 etc.) I hate to give up on this project. Any help you could be would be greatly appreciated.
