Chamber adapter for 1891 Argentine Mauser

Does anyone make a chamber adapter to fire a 7.62x39 cartridge in a 1891 Argentine Mauser in 7.65 cal? Is this possible? Would make a good plinker.
Thanks, Tom[?]

    Not possible, not just because the 7.62X39 is a rimless round, but also not even close to the same diameter. That is why one reason the argies are selling cheaper than the other mausers. You could change barrels to almost any cal, but wouldn't be cost effective. 7.65 ammo is avaible, and is a much better hinting round than the 39. Check out JG sales for ammo.
