1955 lee enfield in 308

[Brian Dick]

I've seen many DCRA rifles. The ones marked "Regulated by Fulton" started out as service rifles in the UK, were regulated by GE Fultons post service in the UK as target rifles in .303. Many eventually wound up in Canada, the owners carried or sent them to CAL for conversion to 7.62 for service rifle competition shooting. They were used primarily for Palma style shooting and were not supplied after conversion with 7.62 extractors or magazines. There were a select few, (the so-called factory specials), that were drilled and tapped for P-H bases, bedded with Bisonite and had 7.62 extractors and Enfield magazines installed but they were not the norm. Most DCRA conversions retained the original .303 extractor and magazine which worked fine for single shot extraction and as a loading platform for long range competition.

That's what mine was. Those mags and extractors didn't surface here for years after.
