    US Model 1917 .22 LR conversion third type-- Parker Hale conversion

    This Model 1917 Eddystone is converted to .22 LR by removing half of the receiver ring and fitting the barrel with a Parkerifle liner and altered bolt mechanism. It is Britishicon commercially proofed.

    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 imported one of those a couple of years ago. Very neat conversion.

    Thanks you again for sharing!! Is this rifle a repeater? From the photo it looks like a magazine is inserted in the magazine well.

    Thanks again!!

    breakeyp--

    Do you know if Parker Hale did the same conversions to the Pattern 1914 as well?

    Thanks

    Various P-H catalogs state that they would undertake to convert any arm to .22 LR. I have never seen a lever action so converted but the certainly did the Pattern 1914.

    Just thinking about .22 conversions... The Lee Enfields are easier to do, because the breech face is not set deeply inside the receiver ring.
