7.62mm DCRA LE No4 conversion thread

Number 465 is in friendly hands. Converted at Long Branch after being well used in .303 by a member of the DCRA Hall of Fame. The donor receiver is a 93L###x which had been Regulated By Fulton previously. Its present condition is a stripped reciever and bolt, with a shorter than original barrel at about 22". There are screw holes for a front sight base.

The conversion was coordinated by Sqn Leader Reynolds who accepted shooter's rifles from across the country. He did some initial inspections, then shipped the assemblage to CA for converting. Apparently, the word got back to the shooter that his rifle was noted by CA's staff as a good one, not the usual second-rifles most shooters sent in hoping for a magic wand treatment.

Interesting point about "second-rifles". Often wondered why some of them were such ordinary looking actions and that explains it: keeping their best rifles to use every week at the range, perhaps still in .303?
 
I was at the Kamloops gun show today and there where several 7.62 #4 enfields there. At least three of which where DCRA conversions. I missed the numbers on two of them but #1697 was still there at the end of the day.
 
The one that WAS in the sporter stock.Its naked right now no plastic against its lovely Dominion of Canada crafted metal body.
