Howdy all
I want to buy a 7.62x39 detachable magazine fed bolt action rifle based on the Lee Enfield.
I know this has been done in the UK,the original barrel and AK magazines were used I believe.
Could be a good seller.

not sure i understand the point .... if you want a 7.62 x39 in bolt action just buy one if you want to convert a .303 just rechamber , modify the boltface and modify the mag so it takes the shorter round (the added benefit of running heavier slugs)thru a .312 barrel
I had an old beater No1Mk3 that had the barrel set back, rechambered in x39, and fed from a mini 30 magazine.
[EDIT:] Either way you'll be screwed by the big mags with new law coming in. Setting one up inside a modified LE 10 round might be the go, esp if you can use strippers into it
see .... there you go job doneQuote:

The way things are going, writing "BANG" on a piece of paper will be illegal soon
If you want to advantages of both, buy a bullet puller. Load .303 cartridges to 7.62x39 power with all the pleasant advantages of this.

No.
I think we all know the police website isn't the correct place to get the actual facts about the new ban, they are still saying pump shotguns are going to be banned arnt they. I noticed the NZDA are now saying pump shotguns are to be banned as well.Quote:

youd probably warp the shit out of the lower as well
Yes, they work well. Used them to weld up a frame for a new fuel tank on the lawnmower.Quote:

The stuff is quite hard.
Stick the lower in water and tig a plate over the bottom of the reciever with a five round mag in it.
still brings you back to this thoQuote:

I once worked with a young smith that changed a enfield so it will fire 45 ACP. Lots and lots of manufacturing.
Nothing stopping you from making friends with a hardy good fellow that owns the right tools?
I would rather invest my money in a Howa mini in 7.62x39?
