The Lee Enfield magazine adapter I have -
If interested I can take some more pictures, dimensions etc.
Basically it's two pieces of aluminium screwed to together to form the body of the adapter, with an adjustable catch (rearmost screws) to secure it to the rifle as per a normal LE magazine and the magazine catch for the 1911 magazine.
Realistically with this as a basic design you could make your own to fit any rifle and magazine combination.

You don't feel like parting with it do you??????????????Sandgroper wrote:Sim G wrote: - I also have a magazine conversion kit (1911 magazines) for a No 4 Lee Enfield.

I'd really like a good look at it sometime, just to see if I could easily replicate it.

Re: Pistol calibre carbines
Don't forget about the De-Lisle, that's 45acp.
Or if you can find one, a morris tube.
You can get No 5 looky likies in 762x39 but that's obviously more intermediate than pistol.

The above post probably contains sarcasm or some other form of attempted wit, please don't take it to heart.

If you can replicate it you'll have at least a couple of sales for your trouble.

Re: Pistol calibre carbines
We've been hunting for a de Lisle for a long time, and already have a no5 lookey likey in 7.62x39 - which is a great little Goblinator of a gun.
