May I give you a word of advice- if it’s a T-bone conversion with the flat square ejector spring on the outside; store your rifle with either the bolt open, or completely removed. That spring tends to stay bent when stored for a long period of time under tension. GLHF!!
Indeed the conversions can be problematic. This one was built by a reputable gunsmith, so you can bank on it working. This comes at significant cost however. It’s the home conversions that often are not tuned to perfection.
Bill. A 223-chambered barrel is screwed onto the action. The forend is relieved appropriately to match the contour. The bolt face is modified to suit the smaller 223 including a new extractor. A flat spring steel ejector is retrofitted to the outside of the action that pokes through and sidekicks the empty out. The magazine well is modified to accept a modified 10-shot mini14 magazine. This particular one has a remington varmint contour barrel and it shoots like absolute stink - easily a sub-moa gun. Front heavy though - not goot for standing offhand matches.
@@johnbobson3642 thank you sir - she’s also incredibly accurate. However she’s undergoing a diet now, as we speak, to reduce weight for better offhand shooting. I hope she still shoots ok after this. More vids to come.
@@davidharper9772 yeah mate you know it - it can shoot bulls on the fullbore line if you concentrate hard enough and the wind is playing ball. It’s just a Central No4 sight - soon to be converted to a Ph5c, mainly for the coolness factor. As I mentioned the rifle is getting a diet and forend chop a-la L42 - to be a better 3p service rifle.
Am trying mine on Sunday at Cessnock Rifle Clubs "303" shoot,found a PH4 sight to go on,hoping for good things.

Very nice conversation. I’d like one but a lot of conversions for sake second hand have feed issues etc. I need a rifle which works out the box.

This. Is. Rad. I've shot a few rechambered Enfields. .223 out of a 9lb rifle must be a hoot. What target sight is that?
