Thanks Walk-in. The post was a little older, so I assumed that you already had sorted out how you to solve the issue in regards to the magazine. I have decided to sell the bottom metal with the 2 mags along with the stock as I have cut out a notch for the magazine release on the side so it only makes sense to sell the everything together. I am going to change to a GRS stock for the 9.3x62 and then use AI magazines. To be honest I am not a big fan of the Voere magazines, hence my decision to change the magazine system along with the stock. My biggest problem is getting a Mauser 98 DBM for AI mags. I bought a CDI DBM for my Kimber, (bought a Kimber 300WSM after owning a Heym 8x68, great rifle and cartridge, but the setup was a little too heavy for the hunt I had planned and the better powder burning for shorter barrels sold me on the 300WSM and the Kimber is very weight efficient too). But unfortunately the guy who owned and ran CDI passed away so the DBMs are no longer available from him, the only other manufacturer I can find who does bottom metals for Mauser 98 and AI mags is Pacific Tool and Gauge. Their business must be incredibly succesful as their eMail account bounces all eMails back, their facebook page is closed and when you ring them, all you get is a "please hold" and you call is never answered - I rang over 20 times and waited over 10 minutes each time. Getting through ITAR regulations is another problem, what I need to find is someone who can send me these parts privately, mybe we can do a deal with Voere parts in return? Voere do kits in 8x68... I've rambled on a bit too long here. Hope all goes well - if you need parts out of Germany or Europe, feel free to contact me, like I said I would be interested in a reciporcal deal.
