7.62X39 Rossi question

[Saloon slug]

Well I have been looking for a 7.62X39 Handi barrel for awhile so I could rechamber to .303brit or 7.62X54R with not much luck. I noticed that Rossi still makes one so I thought I would ask you alls opinion.

 Has any one rechambered one to .303brit or 7.62X54R I noticed on Rossi's site that it has a 1/10 twist so it should not have any problems with the heavier bullets. Do these guns have an extractor or an ejector and how easy is it to replace with the correct one or modify the original one.

Also what sort of accuracy tricks do you use on these rifles.

Thanks in advance.

I looked for a year for a x39 Handi and I couldn't find one either.
I got a Rossi x39 and it's good gun. I have not rechambered mine because I specifically wanted a x39.
The barrel is an extractor.  As far as accurizing... I haven't had to do anything to it, I put a 4x Weaver on it and started shooting. Rossi rifles come with an O ring on the forearm stud straight from the factory. My gun will shoot about 2.5" group at 100 yds with surplus ammo. It might do better with quality ammo.
I know the Rossi's sometimes get a bad rap but honestly mine is a good gun and it shoots well. I have no complaints with it. I would think a rechamber to either the 303 or x54 would be pretty straight forward and would make for a nice shooting gun. One other thing is my rifle is very well balanced and carries well.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Cool thanks for the input. I handled one at Gander Mt the other day not to bad for the price. Now I just need to convince the wife
