    I bought a stock .30-06 Rem 700 sporter barrel. I am wondering if it's possible to set back and chamber in .308? I am thinking about a couple different directions with the barrel, first thought is a 7.62x25 AK but I'm also thinking about a .308 mauser project or a .308 single shot. So in short...
