    Hi Guys,
    For those who are relatively interested in buying the conversion or a complete set up.
    I fired 100 x GGG 7.62x51 and 100 x .22 CCI Mini Mag through her yesterday not one stoppage, smooth as silk.

    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 ...

    Fired a lot of .22 rounds yesterday on the 25 Metre range. No misfires at all.

    Simon,
    Lovely work there by Peter at Armalon, especially on the action and the new design magazine.
    Mine has been a dream since I collected it several months ago as the Guinea Pig.

    Costs and would it would it work in mine.

    Happy new year all, I was wondering if these are still available and if so the cost. I have a straight pull L1A1 slr from Gavin Heywood (Anglo Custom), many many years ago this has the Walther .308 barrel?

    Many thanks

    Steve

    Steve,
    Yes they are still available, if you contact Peter Sarony at Armalon Arms direct with your requirements

    I would double check with Peter, as they are manufactured to work with his .308/7.62 L1A1 barrels, they are a close fit.
