If you can find a Cadet Action, I just happen to have an original Cadet barrel and forearm. The bore is pitted but it would do for a liner project or as an experiment. The Cadet action is very simple to add and remove a barrel to once you get the extractor cuts done and these are done as it sits. Only thing is that the original 310 Cadet rifle is not .311. Most bores are on the north side of .320 since the British like the Russians at times measured the land diameter, not the grove diameter and the 310 Cadet is such a gun.

Were It me, I would simply skip all the ta da and do a .308 barrel chambered to X that would give you a big choice in bullets. Low pressure to 30 cal is done all the time with the 7.62x39 and the 32-20 for that matter as just about all single shot 32-20s, rifles and handguns, made today are in fact barreled on a .308.
