Beautiful rifle. Thanks for posting.

Sweet....I've got a 1915 BSA as well that looks like it hasen't fired a shot since it was converted.

Thanks guys.

I wish I could find some information on the conversion process

A fine example of this wonderful rifle I have four in my collection and love them all, as for information there is a small soft cover book called "British .22RF Training Rifles" by Dennis Lewis & Robert Washburn (ISBN 1-880677-03-2) that will probably answer many of your questions.

The Enfield and MAS trainers finally arrived today and I snapped a few pics at my FFL's before they went into his safe for the obligatory 10 day "cooling off " period.





They are both in great shape. The Enfield bore is sharp and shiny.
