The Swedish mauser will not take the pressures of the 6.5-284. The action was designed for a cartridge producing pressures of around 46,000 CUP the 6.5-284 is a modern hig intensity round and not a good idea especially as the material around the small barrel shank will be made thinner due to the larger case diameter.

Why not look out one of the new surplus Swedish barrels and fit that?

thanks for the reply.those sweedish barrels
have seemed too have dryed up down here in australia.i have been after one for a while,a friend of a friend has one and i have been trying for over a year to get my hands on it.my local gunsmith said for he'll recrown slightly dock both ends and rechamber it for the same money old mate wanted for his sweed
barrel.i go to all the gun shows and thats what iam allways looking for but so is everybody else,and now our gun laws are so tough on importing gun bits and parts.and the price of a new barrel and chamber job is the same as some of the new cheaper
rifles oh well thanks again cya
