has any body done the Rhineland arms smle .45acp conversion?
how'd it go?

also can a smle barrell be fitted to a bsa p14 .303? as my p14's pretty tatty and if i've a spare barrell i may as well use it

cheers in advance for any help

There's a good writeup on the conversion at www.surplusrifle.com .It sounds like a neat conversion, but I wish I had bought a Marlin 45 Camp Carbine when they were more available.

looks easy enough, even for me

going to talk with my local arms officer to see about importing kit(s)
sporterised smle's are cheap enough and easily available over here......got a trip home first - so figure a month or so before i realy get serious though
