I converted my Enfield No. 1 to 45 acp with a Rhineland Arms conversion kit. It shoots ok but feeds unreliably, and does not eject spent brass.

The British original had a set back barrel, shortened bolt and offset silencer, all of which mine lack.

I put more threads on the barrel and turned it down to .690" to allow it to be set back closer to the magazine.





I will need to make and attach a feed ramp to the mag adaptor to allow fedding from the magazine.

Making offset baffles and aligning them properly still eludes me though. The WA governor will sign bill HB1016 allowing silencer use on 4/11/2011. Short barreled rifle possession is still a felony in WA (unless registered by 1994) so I will have to weld the can to the barrel.
