    I have a very nice Enfield converted to .410 in 1935. It has not been converted modern commercial .410. I see them at gun shows in this area, eastern NC. The price is usually $400 to 500.

    It is probably one of the rifles converted in Englandicon to .410 to allow purchase on a shotgun certificate. They even made up BREN guns in .410.

    Those would be neat if they fed and worked OK with three ball buckshot.
