Q: 45acp bolt action rifle?

[308BAR]

I got a friend who's for some reason is looking for a rilfe in a 45acp. Personally I haven't heard of a rifle manufacturer that makes one. The only one on the market it seems is Marlin or H&R with the 45colt.

Anyone got some info on this? It some old mil-surplus stuff or if you know of where to find one.

I would imagine that this thing shoots like a rainbow and has very low velocity compared to a standard hunting rifle.

Any info appreciated and thanks in advance.

Cheers

maybe hes thinking of the Rhineland Arms .45 ACP conversions for Enfields?

heres a link to the kit for Enfields:

heres a link to some for Mausers: http://www.troupsystems.com/MAUSER/mauser_conversions.htm

not sure if these guys will ship here. youll have to do a google search for 'Rhineland 45 ACP carbine' or 'Rhineland 45 ACP conversion' or something along those lines.

Armalon in the UK makes pistol caliber carbines based on the #4 enfield.
