444 marlin on SMLE and No.4

[mickb]

I was poking around with the idea of a 444 on a bolt action on another long running thread. Wondered if anyone knows anyone performing the above conversion? Originally I was looking at getting someone to do a 444 on a high pressure modern action or heavyweight like a P14.

Now stepping down a level to see if anyone knows any enfield converters out there. Reason being 444's on these actions turn up from time to time, so I assume they are an easier conversion and people are still doing them out there. I asked a few gunsmiths but they are either interested in basic Barrel changes or major custom jobs worth thousands. Not a lot of options for mid range obscure work

Shipwright gunsmiths would be able to if you can afford it. I was looking at doing a 45-70 on a SMLE action at one stage

Thanks Bigpete I might give him a call then.
