    The reweld projects in the US use closed bolt operation, with a semi auto only trigger mechanism. The operating system design is developed. A Cdn. gun would need a new receiver, and this is the hurdle. Economically whittling a receiver out of a block would be quite a challenge. I suppose that starting with a precision casting would reduce the size of the pile of chips somewhat.
    What would be the size of the potential market? At what price? In Canada, could 500 $5000 units be sold? Could the things be exported to other markets? What is the supply of good Brens from which to harvest parts like?

    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.
