    Sub Calibre Kits

    Thought that I'd start a new run on the Sub Calibre Kit saga...........

    I have had a discussion regarding the manufacture of the interface block that fits between the standard FAL/L1A1/SLR magazine and the readily available H&K .22" sporter magazine that converts a normal SLR magazine into a .22" sub calibre magazine for the SLR L12 conversion kit.

    They'd be made of machined hard plastic for chapness, unlike the big heavy original UKicon Military spec which were made from steel so as to replicate the weight of a fully loaded rifle (whatever for I'm bound to ask, when the recoil is less than a wet fart!)

    How many out there would be interested in a couple each. NO mags supplied because they're both readily available

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I would join in as well to support the effort. I might never find the rest of the parts and pieces (for sub caliber kit) but I could have complete magazines at least! As long as each block was under $20.00, I'd go for 5.
