I have constucted VZ-24 into 30:06, 458 Win Mag, 308 Win in an F Class rifle, 35 Whelen, 243 Win AI. I love Mauser actions. I also have other Mauser actions in 7MM. 6,5x68, and 6,5x55 and 270 Win. I have two more VZ-24 actions in cosmolene that I bought from an arms dealer in Minnesota when they were on sale. I don't know what they will end up as yet. And no. They are not for sale.
My dream has always been a 223 Rem but my skills are such that I don't feel froggy enough to jump right in and start shortening an action. I don't have the tools available to me any more either. So I guess I'll have to farm it out. I expect it to be a rather expensive project and I'm not exactly Richie Rich. After spending 27 years in the Military I barely scrape by. 27 years of working for your country gives you very little prestige and even less money. With $1.75 and prestige you can buy a beer.
I know a little about VZ-24's. I can bluprint them for the most part, lap lugs and work the slide rails, and feed rails. If theres anything I can help you with scream.
The main thing to remember about any Mauser action is, don't try to make it do something it was not designed to do.
Best wishes, Bill
