The little Kadet rifles are quite nice for customizing! I've done several over the years. These little rifles were made by BSA, and were chambered for the 310 Greener cartridge. This cartridge is very close the the American 32-20 Win. There was someone in Aussy land that made a "RIMMED" 222 Rem Mag case specificlly for use in this rifle, and it made a real nice combo for hunting Coyotes, Dingo, or Roos. The 22 centerfire is legal for deer here in Texas, and I've taken whitetail, and muledeer alike with these little rifles chambered for 22 Hornet, 22 K-Hornet, 218 Bee, 222 rimmed, and one rifle chambered for 30-30 Win. There used to be a shop in Michigan called SNAPP'S GUN SHOP, that specialized in BSA Kadet conversions, and these lettle rifle were real popular in the USA, back in the 50s, and 60s.

I still have several origenal barrels, and stocks for these rifles which I rebarreled, and restocked. Fun little guns, and well worth spending money on!
