Enfield #4 in .50 AE, No.4 of 6. Only two more to assemble. They are fun to build, but there is a lot more fitting of parts than the normal .45 conversions. I think this one came out pretty nice. Has one of our new scope rails on it too, tested it with iron sights, not for children, as .50 AE has a fair bit of kick.     ------------- At over $3.00 a gallon for gas, I want it leaded, 100 octane, and my windshield washed! |

I found your 45 conversions intriguing Richard, even tracked down a Aussie mob that sold the kit. I am not familiar with the 50 AE and looked it up - develops some impressive ballistics in a 6" handgun barrel, any idea what it is capable of in a rifle.

We get 1900 FPS as I recall, with a 300 gr. bullet. Power factor still equals the average 45-70, at one-hundred yards! ------------- At over $3.00 a gallon for gas, I want it leaded, 100 octane, and my windshield washed! |

Hi richard/sia.....I just joined the forum after seeing the things you have been doing with the 303. I love this stock. I have a #4 mk1 long branch that has been sporterized. I use it for all my hunting needs as I prefer it to the modern deer rifles I own. I have a scope on it and was fixing to order an ati stock until I saw this one. Boydes has the stock but not the forarm. I like the checkering as well. Please tell me how to find this stock ......thanks and keep up the great work |

Sorry, that is an old stock set from a company long out of business, I think it was Bishop stock. I got it on a pawn shop gun. ------------- At over $3.00 a gallon for gas, I want it leaded, 100 octane, and my windshield washed! |

Hi everyone, new member here Wanting to do a 50 AE Conversion , after googling for many hours and talking to my local Gunsmithing friends they pointed me in this direction to get some information We should be able to get the parts here in Australia but if anyone has done this configuration successfully please chime in I need to obtain as much information as possible to source the correct parts needed as this will obviously take some time Any small info however trivial maybe of assistance to me Thanks

Thanks , will see if I can track them down , I’ve sourced a barrel maker here in Australia that can make me one and it’s about a 16-18 week wait at the moment I am thou trying to also chase down a 285 or 300 grain gas checked hollow point mold also in the interim as factory loaded ammo over here is extremely difficult to source , I’ve emailed MP molds and NOE molds and can’t get a reply from either of them Does anyone know any other molds available or a mold maker willing to do one for me ?
