Anyone one doing this convertion and has a full length #4 Mk 1 barrel they wont need any more could sell the old one to me providing its still in good shape,please pm me with any please.
 
I wish someone could make a production bolt-action pistol calibre carbine. The only ones around are either short runs or custom versions.
 
Anymore news or pictures on these, has anyone got one and put it together, starting to get very interested in the idea of building one myself. The only part I can see me having trouble with is removing the barrel.
 
If anyone is looking for a stock sets for there 45acp convertions, will be making a run of them here in late summer, can make laminated or walnut/beech, cheers Dale Z!

your post gave me Ideas. could I get from you a barrel like the ones you have for these kits but in 44rem mag? I am looking at a similar conversion using desert eagle mags I will build my own mag adaptor but I cant bore a barrel. Thanks in advance for your help.

@UCSPanther: hav you checked out the Destroyer Carbines? Bolt action, box mag, calibre is 9mm Bergmann-Bayard (Largo). Ammo is available.

Back in the Bad Olde Days when Canadians could be trusted to shoot their evil "semi-automatic machine-guns", I chrono'd the same box of shells, a very hot load, through an M1911A1 and through a Reising Model 50 SMG. Same shells came out at 200 ft/sec faster through the Reising than they came out of the Colt. Sonic-level performance from a 225-grain hard-cast bullet is impressive and not to be sneezed at.

What we really NEED for a "pure-fun gun" would be a Reising Model 60: strict semi-auto and very reliable. Too bad the ATF forced them out of production "just in case", many years ago.

For a 7.62x25 conversion, there would be a lot of jiggery-pokery and you would need a barrel with about a 16-inch twist for that 86-grain bullet to stabilise reliably. Standard twist in ALL .303 barrels is 10-inch.

Some of the early 7.62NATO conversions of the Number 4 Rifle didn't even bother to swap extractors. I have seen and used a couple which worked fine. You can use a standard extractor, just thin the inside of the thing where it butts onto the bolt-head, perhaps thin the bolthead just a tad at the sam spot. Extractor sits over to your left a bit farther, presses the extracted casing against the sidewall of the receiver, tips the thing out long before it gets to the ejector screw. Analyse the action of the rifle carefully and slowly before spending tons of money: Lee-Enfields are VERY versatile.

Hope this helps.
