    Peter tells me he has all the drawings for the NO 32 scopes which are in Imperial, and has a number of No 32 parts too, MK 2/3.

    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 ...

    .22 Conversion Kit

    Visited Peter yesterday, kit fitted like a dream and we cycled a few rounds fantastically. Although bit of a slep over to Peter's place well worth for the tour, chat and tea. Fascinating and superb to see the kit he has there.

    I travelled down to the Bunker on Tuesday and collected my 22 conversion kit from Peter Sarony at Armalon, it’s something I have always wanted so decided to part with the cash to complete my set, and get my ‘holy Grail’ as it were, I had a machine shop tour from Andrew at Armalon and a fascinating 3 hours with Peter who was a gentleman, ensuring the kit fitted and operated as should be. I watched and more 22 kit parts came off the CNC machine and was shown how the magazine parts are manufactured, not many flat surfaces to put a brew down but a busy place.

    I hope the link works.
    My SLR is an Anglo Custom, I believe one of 10 built by Gavin Haywood and the first L1A1 straight pulls done in the uk

    Tim,
    Good to hear everything went as expected and your dream has come true. I can't fault Peters\Andy's engineering skills.
    Hope by telling members about your experiences will help Peter sell the kits he has made up.
