What all has to be modified for it to work? And can it be easily reverted back to shoot 30 06
Reason I ask is I have an m37 and was curious if it would be worth converting

The chambers are quite different - 7.62x63 metric name for 30-06, 7.92x57 for 8mm Mauser and 8x63 for Swedish.

Better to use the bore diameter for something, and work around the chamber.
 
These barrels are originally for the water-cooled gun that's why they are lighter than a standard 1919A4 barrel .
You will have to make a press fit bushing for the end of the barrel to the same diameter as the 3006 barrel .
Have that bushing pressed on the end of 8x63 barrel so it will be supported in the barrel bushing in the nose cap .
You will also need to make a split bushing for the breech end to mimic the size of the 1919A4 barrel .
you may also have to modify the bolt slightly as the 8x63 has a slightly thicker rim than the 06

Thanks for the info, it doesn't seem worth it especially if I have to mod the bolt. Replacement bolts arnt that easy to come by
I will just keep breaking down the ammo for use in reloading 8x57
 
Got mine today. Beautiful, never used condition. About Cdn $195.00 to my door.

I'll have my local Gunny thread this for a M98 Mauser and I'll restore it to 8X63 with my reamer. It'l end up at about 22 1/2". Sarco sells these barrels "long-chambered" in 8X57, but are out of stock.

Importing one already threaded for the M98 would be the way to go, but I don't mind spending what it will cost to have such a unique barrel.

This is the one IRG advertized, and this is what I got. I never imagined my post could cause this level of confusion - sorry.
