Numrich 1903 SF .22 Conversion Kit??

[Mike Haas]

Just curious..anybody else have a complete Kit? Mine is original & complete in the original shipping box from Numrich. (Original Instuction Sheet).
Brophy says only about 1500 made. I'm just curious how many others may be out there.

...back in the '80s , lost the bbl insert in a move. Still have the rest. Picked up another complete kit about 5-6 yrs ago , it was in an A3 for a while . It's out now , will put it into a low numbered WW1 reciever when I get around to it.
Anyone have a loose bbl insert?

about 3 or so go on the auction sites in the last 5 or so years. Seem to bring about $600 for a complete set. Depends on condition and completeness.

FWIW,

Chris -
I've never seen a 'loose' barrel for sale; nor the magazine or TG. As EMRI said I've only seen two complete Kits for sale on auctions in the last 4-5years and only one with an original instruction sheet. Both were as EMRI said were about $600.00 then.

My guess is that most folks that may have the parts don't know what they are for. Without the box or the instruction sheet they are very hard to ID.

If I ever see a 'loose barrel' I'll let you know.

...Mags are easy though. Any of the M65 Reising or the other H&Rs in that series should work.

I have two, one in the original box and one in a made up 03A3. $600-$800 seems to be the price range. I like them a lot more!

I also have a complete kit with instruction sheet in its original shipping box. I will have to post the address to which it was shipped. I have never put it into a rifle. I guess one of these day I should.

Some additional information: my kit was mailed from Bruce Woodin & Assoc, Woodstock, NY on 9 September 1959 to L. S. Rouse, 1358 Darlong St, Ogden, Utah for $.69 postage. There is a note on the label that says "Ins, $19.95"

I too have all the parts except the barrel insert. Strange how these go missing. It would be nice if one of you owners would post the specs for the insert. They should not be hard to make.

the insert is not dificult for a good machineist , a friend made one for me , i fitted it to my remington M1903A3-4gery , added a M2 bolt and headspaced it , works great

A Square 10,
Has your freind got a drawing he worked to? is that an o,ring that is used to hold it in place or to protect the chamber? Am looking to produce one myself for my RIA low number receiver 1903, was in a dilema as to use it with reduced/squib loads but think the .22 conversion would be the best bet.
