I just order a 22LR conversion kit from Numrich

I have a No1 MkIII with a worn out bore that wants to be shot again
Does anyone have any experience with these conversion kits?
 
That's cool. Can't say I have ever heard of such a thing though, only purpose built conversions on Enfields. As long as the thing is well made it should shoot reasonably well.
 
Conversion kits are not something new. I have a .22 conversion kit installed in a Long Lee and have two bolts, one rim fire and one centre fire so it will shoot either round.
 
I bought one. The chamber wasn't finished and the bolt that came with it was less than perfect but usable.
I'm using mine to make a DP'd Lithgow into some thing usable. It looks like it will work ok.
 
Range report
It took a bit of breaking in but after a few rounds settled down rather well.
I only had some Polish surplus shorts and CCI std vel LR
The shorts were one ragged hole at 25 yards the LRs about 1" and shooting a bit to the left
At 50 Yards it was shooting good but about 6" high and 3" to the left with the rear sight at the lowest setting.
I drifted the front sight when I got home and next time out I'll see how it does at 100 yards
My nose cap is one of those you have to remove to drift the front sight blade, a PITA I say.
One neat thing the Range Officer had brought a Lithgow SMLE to the range and I brought my No5 as well. So we had a Enfield admiration session. I learned that my No5 does NOT care at all for boatails BTW
