Thanks Georg and to other members, this was the one in post No5, shame pics have gone but not to worry, I've a lot of bits collected over the years to build up a .22 or something different, the problem I've found is the woodwork for the P14/P17 is like hens teeth (when I've been looking) but I won a lovely set from an auction last year for a P14 , so gathering up a few ideas.

I've Probably been watching too much Dads Army over the last few months thats prompting me........ on the subject of Dad Army, I was watching last year There were a few scripts that had the sound recordings but not the film or the film was lost, they improvised by using drawn sketches etc, it was excellent.

The trouble with converting any front-locking action to .22 was, and is, feeding the tiny cartridge across the 'dead space' where the lugs lock up. Rear-locking actions like the Lee-Enfield present less problems.

Well, the .22 does not need large locking lugs. The Parker-Hale .22 conversions of the P.14 only lock with the bolt handle at the rear. There are no locking lugs at the front.
