.308 to 8mm belt loader conversions ready

[panaceabeachbum]

After quite a delay and two vendors for the laser cut parts I finaly have a QTY of 50 of the nicely formed 8mm conversions to allow the inexpensive 308 blet loaders to be converted to 8mm. These are the same high qaulity stampings the other member was selling last year right out of the same set of stamping dies . Includes a new extended end plate for the hopper and a new cartridge stop. $20 + $5 shipping if interested . I have 50 on hand and will begin shipping Monday Oct 15th when I return from KCR

Please send me an Email with 42 loader in the subject line if interested. Thanks Richard

all thats needed for instalation is to drill out the original spot welds that hold the cartridge stop and hopper end in place and replace the parts with the new ones provided. I will post a step by step pictorial next week

I want one. Once you convert it to 8mm, can you convert it back to .308? I'm at work now, so I can't acess your web site. Email me your adress, and total price, and I'll send you a postal money order. sabanyak@yahoo.com Machinegunbob

I am unsure if I have answered everyones PMs , When I log in it says I have 4 messages on hold due to my inbox being full, I deleted a bunch of old messages but it still shows 4 on hold, If you havenet received a response to your PM by today you may want to resend. I will be offline until mon but will get back with everyone when I return . I will get the tutorial posted this week I hope, I am having the shop remodeled and the entire endwall is gone so I have had all the machinery tarped, should be back in gear mon or tues

Has anyone reworked the 308 into 8mm using these parts yet. I looked at them with the reloader last night (it hasn't been high on my priority list) and see one way it could be done.

[RaccoonRough]

There was going to be a tutorial made, eventually.

I have started on the conversion and I am taking pictures for a future tutorial.

Sorry to bring up an old dead thread. But is there still someone selling these conversions? Did they work well?
I was originally curious if the 8mm one would do .308 also but seems like that's not possible....
Is there any way to go back and forth on the calibers? That would be ideal.
Thanks

Bring up an old thread anytime.
Most folks are just buying two loaders due to large groups of both coming into the country over the last few years. Yes, the conversions have been done and they do work. I believe that if done correctly you could switch back and forth but believe owning both of them would work better.
