7.62x39 SMLE
« on: December 18, 2010, 05:30:06 PM »
I just aquired an enfield, barreled reciever and bolt, and I'm thinking of getting a 7.62x39 conversion kit from these guys. Has anyone had any experience with them or heard anything about them?

Those are pretty interesting and even believe it or not for a smelly, pretty, the horror. I have a spanish mauser in 762x39, with a nice sporter stock and cheap 3x9 scope, got it cheap, but it does not shoot any better than my sks, have not slugged the barrel yet, to see if it is .308 or .311, it works well, but maybe US ammo which is .308 might work better, and then I have the cast bullets to try, but I was hoping a quality rifle would shoot the surplus ammo better, but it did not.

No pressure problems?
I know that my .308 SMLE had to be beefed up to handle the more powerful cartridge.  I also know that the Israeli .308 mausers didn't have to be beefed up.
