When accumulating parts for a vz52 project, I ended up with a spare barrel chambered in the original 7.62x45 caliber. It’s still got some life left in it, the rifling is decent. I’m thinking about holding onto it in case I end up with another one of these rifles that needs some love and build it into something like a police carbine using the chopped down stock I have laying around.
My question is, would it be viable to lop off about 6mm from the breech end and re chamber it in x39? Obviously I would have to shorten the operating rod/sleeve by the same amount that is cut off the barrel as well.
If anyone would need the barrel, let me know. I’m just trying to figure out what I could do with it
