Ok Boys and Girls!
We got out four 9mm Lugers, 2 DWM's and two vintage mausers.
We got out six flavors of ammo, Hansen 7.63 Mauser, Fiocchi 7.63 Mauser, S&B 7.62 Tokarev, Winchester 7.62 Tokarev, Norinco 7.62 Tokarev, and some 7.62 X 25 military surplus of uncertain origin.
No mallet.
No permutation or combination of the above would chamber or allow the action to fully close. Might have been able to do it with a mallet but I ain't going that far!
I'll still say that you can bore a 7.63 Mauser out to 9 mm, you can make it go bang, you can headspace it on the bullet ogive, but you can't make it right. Sleeve it.
