    You'd probably have more luck trying to get RWA or Canada Ammo to build them. I don't really see enfield parts being overly interesting to a shop known for building precision long range rifles and now the MV and MH.
    I like where they're going now and wouldn't want to see them get bogged down building parts for antique milsurps. ATRS is a pretty small shop that's already struggling to keep up to orders.

    With old rifles like those don't you just buy 4 of them and use the parts to keep the prettiest one running?

    Given the machines we have currently about the only parts we could make would be the bolt heads, and the order would have to be fairly significant in order to spread the costs of programs and fixtures to a point that they would be affordable.
    Metal mags are stamped and welded which is totally specialized equipment being needed to produce them.
    This is just too far out of our realm to entertain.

    AIA in Australia may be a thought as they produce a variation of the SMLE

    I don't think most businesses would see a profit opportunity/business model for making parts to fit cheap surplus firearms, the owners of which (for the most part) tend to be notoriously frugal.
