Unobtainium .22 Lee Enfield Trainer, Help needed!!

[Lance]

Shall we play a game? This is for novice and expert; here is a very rare .22 Lee Enfield just purchased on of Gunbroker. Each reply will add more info for those to test their knowledge with the last few giving it away and the very last with the answer. No cheating!

Here she is, as found, no clues yet……………

Information

Clue #1 The business end , hard to read but is says “PARKERIFELD AGP” just like you would find on a .22 Rifle No. 9

[Lance]

Clue #2 The bolt head with a relieved section out of it.

[Lance]

Clue #3 Bubba’s work??

[Lance]

Clue #4 The chamber.

[Lance]

Clue #5 The top of the receiver, faint stamp.

[Lance]

Clue #6 The official answer, converted from a SSA SMLE Mk III*.

[Lance]

Yes, here she is fitted back as issued, basically. The ejector for some reason was relocated probably for a target sight that was removed. Per the data, 975 produced with a very rare survival rate due to its two year service life and need of conveyors.

Now this is my problem, I have not even one conveyor for this rifle. I have two patterns of conveyor clearing rods but Fultons, South Carolina and The Great White North “Shed” have no conveyors in stock. Can anyone out there help me?? Please…..

[Son]

No conveyors I'm afraid- but I have some pics/ info for interested bodies to check out...

For what's involved, can you find a machineshop or gunsmith who will spin a couple up for you?

Congrats on the hen's tooth! Looking forward to a range report!

So what are the squiggly wire bits in the 2nd from the right upper photo row?

Lance's and Son's pictures are the most I've ever seen in one place of this variant. Quite enlightening! Thanks!
