Maxim 7.62 NATO / .308 conversions (any interest?)

Recommended Posts

I did a .308 conversion on my Maxim. 
I was wondering if this was a feasible product. 
Custom barrel and feedblock rework with cartridge insert and guides. It was way more expensive than I planned. By the end, I was in it almost 3K. I don’t think people would pay this much for a conversion, but my friend is trying to push me to do more. I have also done .308/7.62 NATO conversions for the Vickers and one 1914 Hotchkiss also. What do you think?

I think it looks interesting.  I had considered it as a project for my own 08/15 and you showed it is feasible. I've also considered a conversion of my Jap 99, currently in .308 using MG13 mags, to eat some of the 7.92 surplus I have.  With the way things may be going in the near future I'm not sure I want to tie up the time and money in either project.   Keep posting here with updates if you continue with it.
