Magnum Mini?

Is it possible to ream the chamber of the Mini-30 to a more powerful .308 cartridge? I Know that the magazine length and head diameter are the limiting factors so I was specifically thinking in terms of a 7.62x39 improved for possibly 200 or so more fps. Anyone ever heard of this being attempted?

A 20" aftermarket barrel should yield another 200 fps over the 18 1/2" barrel. ASI offers several different configurations, and calibers.
