Anyone here convert an bubbed Enfield to 7.62x39?
- Thread starter Calum
- Start date
I have to finish my No. 4/5 "Tactical Carbine" Scout first... LOL
Then I have to do the forearm stiffening and stock refinishing on my Savage 10fp.
then I have to finish my fake EAL.
THEN I'll start the 7.62x39. Really want it to work with AK or CZ mags...

"...bore diameter is perfect..." Not necessarily. An Enfield barrel can measure between .311" and .315" and still be considered ok. Slug the bore first.
You'd have to make a chamber insert to get the 7.62 x 39 to work. It'd have to be headspaced for the much shorter cartridge.

Enfield "K" in 7.62x39!
By Special Interest Arms.
The classic #4 & #5 Enfield's have been updated to shoot the inexpensive and accurate 7.62x39 cartridge!
The converted gun uses interchangeable 5 and 10 round single stack AK-47 detachable magazines!
No modifications to the original Enfield receiver are required.
"K" for Kurtz *, the 7.62x39 round uses the same .311 diameter bullet as the original .303 British caliber, but with a lighter 125 gr. bullet, in a shorter cartridge case.
Ideal for youth, ladies and anyone else desiring a .30 cal. rifle with light recoil!
Inexpensive to shoot, plinking ammunition is typically only about $3-$5 a box!
Soft point hunting ammunition is readily available!
Reliable bolt action design, conserves on ammunition cost and promotes accuracy!
All Enfield #4 rifle accessories remain fully compatible with the new Enfield "K"!
The bolt action and heavier barrel appear to greatly enhance accuracy over that to be expected from SKS or AK-47 type rifles!

Did a No 4 in one of our gunsmith classes last year. Used the Chinese bolt action single stack mag for the conversion. Used the origional barrel, works well and shoots pretty good. Funny, the recoil seems quite stout for this rifle, managable but more that I expected.
