Hello again.
I seem to remember hearing that the action of a SMLE can be rebarreled to fire .45-70, and it seems that I have heard that Gibbs or some other company did just that to a limited number of guns...
So, what would be involved in such a conversion?
There are tons of shot out, bubba hatchet jobs out there that could be used and it wold be just plain neat to have a fast, bolt action repeating thumpenwhacker.
I may just be crazy. (...about Enfield actions that is...)
