    .22 conversion kit for No1 MKIII

    Does anyone have any information about the .22 conversion kit available from Numrich Gun Parts? Is this kit something that Numrich had made up or is it some surplus item? Their description is vague, at best.

    If anyone has one, is it any good? How well does it shoot?

    It appears to extract the cases but, I do not see any way it can eject them so, I assume it's an extract and tilt the action kind of deal.

    Thanks in advance folks.

    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.

    It's a recently made item with no ejection capability. I had one some time ago and although the function was alright, the accuracy was very poor.

    they never had eject on any of them . the empty case falls down into the mag body.
    they work good with standard or target ammo but not so good with HV

    The one I had was not very accurate and had minimal rifling. Had to test fit to several different SMLEs to find one that that fit properly.
