"I WILL DO THE WORK MYSELF."
No disrespect intended but do you have any gunsmithing knowledge and experience besides the most basic? This is not like screwing on some scope bases or switching some parts in an AR15. If you don't have quite a bit of conversion experience then I would tell you to pass up this project as you will just ruin another Mauser that someone else could put to good use.
Brief overview:
Open boltface.
Fit extractor.
Design and fabricate a new box.
Design and fabricate a new follower.
Open feed rails, adjust for feeding.
Open/adjust feed ramp.
Thread, fit, chamber and headspace a new barrel.
Fit and adjust ejector.
I'm sure that some of the cobblers will come along with some remarks that advocate jury-rigging parts to avoid the real fitting for proper function but that should be avoided at all cost. Do it properly or skip this in favor of a more simple project.
Best.
