    The fact they all seem to be Savage is rather interesting in itself, I can only guess S&P imported a batch of Savages from somewhere specifically for the project...

    Any interesting markings on them, old proofs etc that might give us a lead??

    love to see some pics of the No1 Mk3 and P14 if you had any, did you have then converted yourself?

    As I recall the Ensign was the first of the type, (circa 1983) it used air cartridges that were the size of 12 bore cartridges with a grey plastic shell, a mate of mine had one, it went into the grinder during the ban unfortunately.

    I have seen an air cartridge Walther PPK "type" pistol, no idea who made that one though...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I have been working out the details to convert a M1917 Enfield to use a M1922 .22LR Springfield type bolt system. Yes it will be a repeater. To keep you entertained in the mean time. I have attached several pics of the .22LR conversion that I have several of which are prototypes.

    Enjoy

    Excellent, I bet they turn a few heads on the range ? Many years ago in Guns Review or Gunmart (maybe some in the UKicon will remember) there was an article on a .22 belt fed miniature M1919, I think there was a Gatling gun also

    Promo and 303 Collector, I'd be interested in some more pics of the P14 bolt etc, most of the conversions I've seen are the ones which have part of the body cut away to enable to feed a round by hand.

    I had the barrel and some of the cartridges for the 1919 A4 at one point. The odds of finding enough to be usable was slim and the bolt was a non starter...so I sold them. Nice to see the whole rig complete. A very scarce accessory.
    Regards, Jim
