    7.62mm conversions

    I recently came across this rifle. It appears to replicate the L8 rifle conversion, 4 groove 7.62mm barrel, correct magazine, extractor and even clip guide insert. These are the only markings on it though.





    Does anyone have any details to offer on the rifles history? Value?

    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.

    Looks like a charnwood ordance built 7.62 from Englandicon.They bought up a pile of 7.62 parts in the late 80,s-early 90,s and built around 300 #4 762 rifles.Yours is # 54-built in 1989.Quite rare,maybe lest than 20 in canada.
    Someone else may be able to add more detail.

    Yes, the CO is the giveaway. I don't know how it would have got to Canadaicon for sure, but they (Charnwood) used to have pretty close ties to Collector's Source & did lots of deals with them, so that's a possibility........
