I saw this and immediately said to myself. You have a 7.62 barrel and a L42A1 magazine, make it. A Charnwood No5Mk1 in 7.62x51mm. This is very tempting to me...

The 2A1 barrel I have on my R.Y.N.O. MkII is cut to exactly 20". It shoots fairly straight. Cut the barrel down to 20" and that gives you two complete spins of the bullet as it's leaving the rifle. The L42A1 magazine has that built in ejector tab. Its definitely temping... I will leave up to my fellow Enfield friends. Do it or leave it alone...

I'd wait & see if it will eject, it seems not to have been remachined for the 7.62 one. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |
