    Great little rabbiting rifle, once the chamber was properly reamed out,
    You can use the existing bolt, bolt head and extractor Simply 'smooth bore' the barrel and ream the chamber.

    A 410 only has a chamber pressure of ~12000 psi. SAAMI state that a .22LR has a chamber pressure of ~ 24,000psi

    308 is ~ 62,000 psi
    303 is ~ 50,000 psi
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
