    ENFIELD .45acp

    Has anyone seen or had an ENFIELD .45acp? I was wondering around the net and found a site that sells these 45acp conversions for the Enfield Riflesicon, these fit the No1, No4, No5, and Indian versions.

    Since I have two No4 Indian barreled receivers and a bunch of parts I was thinking about building one of these; looked like an interesting build.

    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 looked at this project a while back. I thought I remembered that the two sources for the kits had discontinued them. Perhaps I need to revisit the idea as I have a sportered No 4 that would make an ideal starting point.

    Pretty hard to beat at that price!
    I recently won a lot of Enfield stuff someone was working on at auction. Looks like this may have been their plan eventually...just a different method.

    Here is a current link. Rhineland Arms etsablished 1999 price up to $180 but still seems doable.

    The extractor, bolt face, and ejector will need considerable modification to ensure reliable operation.

    The Delisle is my holy grail. Retro cool in its purest form. Sentry suppression. Perhaps the closest thing to the movie version of a "silencer sound".

    Interesting. I have a synthetic stock lying around here somewhere and a barreled receiver or two. May have to do some digging this weekend to see what I can come up with.

    We did a couple here years ago with .45 barrel blanks and machined to spec. We used short throw bolts and one was single shot, the other a mag fed from 1911 mags. Both worked just great with existing bolt face and ejector screw. To make it suppressed is pretty simple from there, the bullet is already sub sonic...

    $180.00 still seems like a good price for a cool little project rifle.
