I wonder if we could find some actual owners to comment on this? ie the accuracy.

But maybe a reason they are all sold saying "only fired 50 rounds"?

Another option I have seen is converted a SMLE to 7.62x39 and even using SKK mags. If reliable feeding, and a decent barrel. might even shoot better AND acquired/made cheaper???

I wonder which gunsmiths are making the SMLE /7.62x39 / SKK magazine conversions? A true tried and tested gunsmith having done it successfully before would be ideal. Add sidemount or other mount say with piccatinny rail and away one goes
