Converting a Lee Enfield into a bigger bore
03/02/08 07:20 PM

G'day all, for no particular reason (other than I like the SMLE action) I have decided to build a custom rifle on the SMLE action. I have been looking primarily at the 375 JDJ (having used marrakais and liked it) or a 338/303 British.

I'm interested to hear of anyone else who has gone down these lines, in particular, what work was required and the various diffent calibres that were considered. I'm in NZ for a couple of years, there are some good gunsmiths here who are keen to do the work, although reamers seem to be the main problem over here for any slightly obscure jobs, so any suggestions for obtaining them would be appreciated.

Not really interested in anything less calibre wise than a .338 and not really interested in a straight 444Marlin either, most everything else is up for consideration though.

Photos would be appreciated aswell.

Cheers
