A .22 conversion kit for a SMLE.  That's just too cool.

So when do you think UPS will get here with it?

First Mike and now you.  Before long we won't need hearing protection at vintage. :D 

If you think about it, it's almost disrespectful to neuter those old war horses.  Let them roar.

Yeah, after looking at it some more I think it's a permanent modification.  I wouldn't do that to a good Enfield.  Maybe a sporterized one with no collector's value, though.
