You don't see these all that often over here, so I thought I would share my insert that allows 7.62 ammunition to be loaded into a .303 charger for the early conversion rifles.    ------------- .303 - Helping Englishmen express their feelings since 1889 |

Bet they are hard to find. Wished I had a few of these for my DCRA 7.62 rifles. |

I have never seen these before. I did not know that it ever existed. Thank you for sharing. Where do you find these if you do not mind me asking? ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland.

Prior to this I only knew of the adapters that went in the charger bridge to use NATO 7.62mm chargers! ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

I think, do not get me wrong the made in India made NO 1 MK III use a standard 7.62 charger like the US 03? Am I wrong?

I don't know with the Indian stuff as I never had one. I remember them for the No4 7.62 conversions mostly, the SMLE was a bit before my time, except for "specialty" matches. I was there in the period where .303 & 7'62 were "kind of partners", 7.62 shot closer then switching to a .303 for the long range because of its alleged "superior grouping". ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

I got it from a fellow collector of 303 chargers. It was his 'dupe'. I've never seen them show up in auctions or at shows prior to that, or since. ------------- .303 - Helping Englishmen express their feelings since 1889 |
