Very nice workmenship, hate to see any Enfield chopped up but if one had to end that way at least it is a quality conversion. I think that company takes any milsurp bolt action rifle and makes that weapon I have seen those with Springfields and Mausers

That isnt a conversion, that is a new manufacture rifle, that bloody AIA M10.

I have had a look at them in the local gunshop. Not a bad rifle but at $1000 + Australian I would be looking at a purpose built sporting rifle.
I guess if you wanted to shoot service rifle they would be ok but I have heard that the 7.62x39 ,odel had some feeding issues.
All in all a nice bit of gear but in my opinion a bit overpriced.

Yep I'm no fan of these rifles ! Several of my Mates tried the 7.62 x39 offerings & had major feeding problems with them ! I've met a Gent who had one in 7.62 Nato & fired a few rounds out of it . I can't say for he price I was overly impressed though !

The other version is .308 and takes M14/M1A mags
I thought they'd make a great truck rifle
