L1A1 SELF LOADING RIFLE 7.62MM / L12A1 .22 CONVERSION CHALLENGE

Visited Peter yesterday, kit fitted like a dream and we cycled a few rounds fantastically. Although bit of a slep over to Peter's place well worth for the tour, chat and tea. Fascinating and superb to see the kit he has there.

It's an amazing place isn't it, you'll have to post some pics of the kit and rifle as we lost a lot in the outage a bit back....

Here it is in action when I get time I'll post pictures of kit and rifle, I bought 2 magazines, fortunately Peter had spares as one did fit properly, last night I had problems with the first round then remembered to give mag a tap after that absolutely flawless :-)

I travelled down to the Bunker on Tuesday and collected my 22 conversion kit from Peter Sarony at Armalon, it’s something I have always wanted so decided to part with the cash to complete my set, and get my ‘holy Grail’ as it were, I had a machine shop tour from Andrew at Armalon and a fascinating 3 hours with Peter who was a gentleman, ensuring the kit fitted and operated as should be. I watched and more 22 kit parts came off the CNC machine and was shown how the magazine parts are manufactured, not many flat surfaces to put a brew down but a busy place.

I hope the link works.
My SLR is an Anglo Custom, I believe one of 10 built by Gavin Haywood and the first L1A1 straight pulls done in the uk

Tim,
Good to hear everything went as expected and your dream has come true. I can't fault Peters\Andy's engineering skills.
Hope by telling members about your experiences will help Peter sell the kits he has made up.
