Beautiful job you've done. You mentioned that you were going to use a 7.62 barrel for it, will this be chambered in 7.62 Nato or other?

Thanks tbonesmith,

Will Rechamber to .30 M1 carbine, then re contour to suit. Would of loved to put it back to .303 but as bubba had gone a bit mad with the file , originaly going rebarrel to .22, but did some tests a while back using old Target barrels, and rechambered them to .30 M1 carbine, worked out quite well so thought reducing it to this would be acceptable plus can still use it in an indoor range.
