    L1A1 conversion kits

    Anyone in the UKicon with a straight pull L1A1, Peter Sarony at Armalon is building 22 conversion kits, built on the HnK system, come with 1 mag. Havent had the opportunity to use one but handled one, look really well engineered. If interested worth giving him a ring, believe they are running at 1500 quid, cheaper than a HnK, if you can find one.

    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.

    John and I have already mentioned this in an earlier thread, and a few were interested, we assumed they would contact Peter direct. No harm repeating the offer.
    I have mine and its perfect, can only say its the first and only straight pull L1A1 I have used in the UKicon that does not jam at all in 7.62 or 22 using Peters engineered parts.
    Perfect engineering and worth every penny.

    Morning Andrew, Pop in a variation for ".22 LR conversion kit".

    In your application, give a little background regarding the rifle it's destined for and make sure they understand it's bolt group and liner.

    Most police forces are only used to AR15 kits that simply swap out the bolt group, for a blowback unit with a chamber insert.

    Saves confusion on your next inspection....

    I've got several of these kits coming in for Customers and a couple of Specials Build L1A1 Straight Pulls.

    You get what you pay for. Peters stuff might not be cheap, buts it properly engineered & set up, and this is where the money goes.
    Regards Simon

    Had a long chat with Peter, and orders are coming through from the site and elsewhere. He has totally modified his .22 magazine making it unique and easily able to hold twenty rounds.
    Great shooting and great fun of course

    I was wondering about the price, just wonder what the original HK kit would go for in its box with original mags etc..... ??
