In theory, yes. All that would be required is a simple barrel change that would be chambered to the 7.92x57mm (8mm mauser). The barrel must also be made of a higher quality steel to compensate for the larger diameter bullet or else the barrel may explode. For those who would fire the M1 Garand with a new barrel, one must shoot ammunition in which the bullet must travel at around 2,800 feet per second (Otherwise you break the op-rod). I have discovered that most ammunition manufacturers do not make such ammunition and the owner would have to resort to reloading his/her own ammunition. A bullet of about 150 grains in weight would be about right. I currently do not know of the amount of powder to be placed in the shell but some tinkering may need to be done on your part.
Suggestions: Stay SAFE! If your not competent enough, don't do it.
Use a chronograph to determine the velocity of the bullet(s).
It would be wise to test the ammo in a different, strong rifle first.
Hope this helps.

What is 7.62x25 ammunition?
It is a munition that's 7.62 mm in diameter by 25 mm in length.These dimensions refer to a Russian ammunition used for the Tokarev pistol and several Communist-era submachine guns, and to ammo of the same dimensions for the German Mauser pistol. Although the Tokarev ammo will chamber in a Mauser, it should NOT be attempted, as the Russian ammo is loaded much hotter.
