The Enfield .45 is also available with an integral suppressor!
The suppressor is integral to the gun, so there is only one NFA tax.

We can build non suppressed "Delisle" near replicas for reenactment and residents of non NFA states.
     

We have a sample Enfield to CAR-15 collapsing stock conversion adapter, CAD drawings are in process.
We needed feed-back to judge the popularity of this product in order to confirm that we should produce it.
It seems to be only fairly popular, we are researching a less expensive manufacturing method.

Enfield "K" in 7.62x39!
By Special Interest Arms.

The classic #4 & #5 Enfield's have been updated to shoot the inexpensive and accurate 7.62x39 cartridge!

The converted gun uses interchangeable 5 and 10 round single stack AK-47 detachable magazines!

No modifications to the original Enfield receiver are required.

"K" for Kurtz *, the 7.62x39 round uses the same .311 diameter bullet as the original .303 British caliber, but with a lighter 125 gr. bullet, in a shorter cartridge case.

Ideal for youth, ladies and anyone else desiring a .30 cal. rifle with light recoil!

Inexpensive to shoot, plinking ammunition is typically only about $3-$5 a box!

Soft point hunting ammunition is readily available!

Reliable bolt action design, conserves on ammunition cost and promotes accuracy!

All Enfield #4 rifle accessories remain fully compatible with the new Enfield "K"!

The bolt action and heavier barrel appear to greatly enhance accuracy over that to be expected from SKS or AK-47 type rifles!

Four standard types available!

We are not taking new orders at this time, we have to catch up our existing orders!
We have acquired a CNC mill to speed production, but it is not operational yet.

1. Standard. Convert your Enfield #4 rifle to 7.62x39, using our new 24" barrel, your original sights, our AK magazine adaptation, and the original stock *. Only $250!

We are not taking new orders for "K" conversions until about we get our CNC mill working, in order to catch up prior orders.

Close Up of the "K" kit. Modified trigger guard, bolt head, magazine adapter, and new match grade barrel.

Side view of the kit. The synthetic stock is an optional extra.


 We are not taking orders for "K" conversion kits or guns until we catch up our existing orders for fully built guns, and finalize new, faster, production technique's for our key components.
To that end we have acquired a CNC mill and EDM machine.
The EDM is now working, the CNC Mill should be soon.

We have created a "Kit" to allow any local gunsmith to complete your "K" conversion.
This is a new option for supplying our Enfield "K" to customers. We believe that your gunsmith should be able to complete a "K" conversion in about 2-2.5 hours, not including refinishing the wood or metal parts.

 It is our hope that making the "K" available in kit form will allow us to meet our customer's demands in a timely manner while still making a fair profit.
This will also provide the nation's gunsmith's with additional work, spreading the wealth and creating more employment in the U.S.A.

We are NOT exporters, we do not export the "K" kit.
DOD-ITAR has made the cost of becoming a licensed exporter extremely high, anyone wishing to import one of our kits will have to make arrangements with a licensed firearms parts import/export broker.

 Please read the "FAQ" topics below for more details.
============================================

We have begun to use black Delrin® in place of aluminum for our magazine adapters!
 We have also procured custom tooling to make them ourselves, using "old school" machinery, and saving thousands of dollars in tooling cost.
This was critical to holding the line on our prices.


Our Enfield to AK mag. adapters are the key piece required for our conversion. 

We have completed a couple of special units, one threaded for use with a suppressor, one based on an Ishapore 2A .308.
We will be happy to do more guns threaded for a suppressor, we will NOT be doing any more guns based on the Ishapore receiver!

Due to popular demand we are working on a couple of new stock variations.
In addition to our new laminate sporter stocks we are developing an adapter to fit any CAR-15 stock and pistol grip to an Enfield, the other is a version of the laminate stock with a pistol grip.

Due to the intermittent availability of magazines and the need to be profitable, we now ship guns with one magazine.  Five round is standrd, ten round is available by special order subject to current availability.

We recently got in a few of the correct ten round mags, five round mags are plentiful at the moment.

FAQ's

·  Your new Enfield "K" kit's, how do they work?

·  We have made a couple of minor design changes, which enable us to sell the "K" in kit form!

1.
Instead of one piece billet aluminum magazine adapters we now use black Delrin®, machined in two halves. Now when the magazine adapters have to be individually fitted, the underlying material will remain black.
2.
We have made a small change in the bolt and extractor system, which reduces the amount of final machining and fitting required.
3.
We are writing a detailed instruction manual for "K" assembly.

We recommend the "K" be assembled by a qualified local gunsmith, but it is possible for individuals to complete a successful conversion at home, so long as they take sufficient time and care in their work.

Kits are now available for immediate turn around!

·  Enfield "K" kit sales, and completion?

·   The 7.62x39 bullet is shorter than a .303B, with less bore contact area, so a marginal or out of spec. barrel cannot be used successfully. Uneven results and a high scrap rate have led us to make new barrels a standard feature of our conversions.
Before ordering a conversion kit the buyer needs to remove the bolt head and trigger guard from their rifle for shipment to S.I.A.
We will not want the action or stock, this eliminates a lot of paperwork and shipping restrictions, as the components being shipped are no longer "Firearms" and can be shipped via any common carrier or the U.S. post office.
For all kits we will cut and re-thread the breech end of the new barrel, then "short-chamber
**" it for 7.62x39.

·  We are currently experimenting with using a "barrel nut" similar to Savage ® so that the conversion may be easier to head space for home builders. This version is still pending, and will not be available unless we are satisfied that it meets all of our standards.
We will modify the bolt head and trigger guard after we receive them from the customer.

The modified donor parts, new barrel, and a "K" magazine adapter assembly with one WASR 5 or 10 round magazine will be sent to the customer for building into a complete "K" conversion.


Assembly of the "K" is very straightforward, but will require a couple of steps that may be somewhat difficult for individuals who are not trained gunsmith's.

1.
Due to inevitable minor variances in Enfield actions we cannot fully head space the barrel and bolt before delivery to the customer.
Final head space has to be done after the barrel is trial fitted on the buyers original receiver.
This requires a 7.62x39 chamber reamer and head space gauges.
We will have these these tools available for rental, with a refundable deposit equal to their purchase price.
 Gunsmith's may already have these tools on hand. If you are planning to do several "K" conversions these tools are readily available for purchase from us.


2.
The extractor notch will have to be cut in the chamber end of the barrel. This can be done on a milling machine, or by hand using a sharp square file.

3.
The magazine well in the fore-end wood has to be relieved to make room for the front end of the magazine adapter. This is pretty easy with a Dremel® tool and burr or a small wood rasp.

4.
An Enfield receiver vise and barrel wrench are STRONGLY recommended for use in building the "K". Poor quality improvised tooling can easily ruin the Enfield action!

S.I.A. cannot take responsibility for any "K" conversions that we do not fully build, as we have no control over the quality of work performed by others.

* There is no need to send us your old barrel as we now supply one of our air gauged Match Grade Montana Rifleman® replacement barrels as a standard component.

** "Short Chamber". The chamber is cut close to the final depth, but the final fine cuts need to be done after the barrel is test fitted to the original action in order to set the head space properly.

How do I get my old barrel off? It's REALLY stuck!
 
Seven out of ten Enfield barrels are extremely hard to remove, we find that the easiest way to get them off the action is as follows. If you do not have a lathe, a local machine shop or gunsmith can handle this for you at a nominal cost.
A.
Strip the action of the stock, rear sight, and all small parts which might come loose while the action is spinning in a lathe.
B.
Strip the bolt assembly, you will need a firing pin removal tool.
C.
Insert the bolt body into the barreled action.
D.
Mount the barreled action in a lathe with a "swing" of 9" or larger.
E.
At the receiver end place the firing pin hole in the bolt body on a live center mounted in the tail stock.
F.
Chuck the barrel in a self centering three jaw chuck.
G.
At very low speed turn-off the barrel shoulder (Chamber area just in front of the receiver) to 1" diameter using a thin blade parting tool. Wear safety glasses!
H.
This will relieve pressure on the barrel shoulder and threads, the barrel should now unscrew easily.
Since the barrel shoulder has been machined back the barrel is now scrap, and will never be useable in .303 again. 

·  Why use the Enfield No. 4 as a donor?

·  The Enfield is reasonably inexpensive as a donor gun, it has a strong and well proven action, and originally used the same bore diameter as our conversion. It also has a factory detachable magazine, so converting to our AK Mag. adapter is relatively simple.

·  Where should I look for an Enfield No. 4 to use for conversion?

·  The Enfield No. 4 has been imported in large numbers over the last few decades. Many of them can be found already "sporterized" at gun shows, pawn shops, or garage and estate sales. Recently imported guns are currently available from several wholesale outlets, but prices are rising and condition is often less than desired. Many gun shops will have a couple of Enfield No. 4's on hand, try to buy a gun you can examine in detail before purchase. Since you intend to replace the barrel you may get a gun cheap if it has a poor bore.

·  Why not use another gun, like a Mosin-Nagant or Persian Mauser?

·  Those guns are more difficult to do, and would end up being more expensive.
The Mosin-Nagant has no magazine well, the Mauser has a floor plate and internal magazine. Besides, I like Enfield's!

·  Aren't you destroying valuable collector guns?

·  No, the guns to convert have little or no collector value. They are usually sourced from foreign military surplus, they have been "FTR" and then sold to third world countries by the shipload.

·  Why is the converted Enfield more accurate than an SKS or AK-47?

·  Mostly due to the bolt action, heavier and strait barrel (you should see an AK barrel rotated between centers, they are curved!), and careful setting of head space. The better fitting stocks do not hurt either.

·  What made you decide that there is a market for these guns?

·  We had a retail gun store, several customers came in looking for a bolt action rifle in 7.62x39.
The only guns available were Ruger® and CZ® rifles, with high retail prices and fixed magazines.

·  These prices defeated the purpose of many of the customers, they wanted a gun that was inexpensive to buy, accurate, cheap to shoot, in a center fire caliber suitable for deer hunting, which also used detachable magazines.

·  Can I change my gun back to .303 British?

·  Not easily. The receiver is lightly modified, but the barrel would have to be rechambered, the bolt head replaced, trigger guard alterations are permanent.

·  How powerful is 7.62x39, how far can I shoot accurately with the converted gun?

·  The 7.62x39 is very similar to 30-30 Winchester®, it is excellent on game up to deer size, it is very accurate to 150 yards, and reasonably accurate to 300 yards. It will reach much further, but hitting a target at long range will take more skill.

·  Can I put a scope on my Enfield K?

·  All standard Enfield accessories will work with the "K". We suggest a 2.5-8, 4X or 6X scope in 32-40mm objective lens.

·  What magazines fit the Enfield K?

·  We use the Romanian AK single stack "WASR" mags. 5 and 10 rounds mags fit, due to the varied size and quality of the mags some minor adjustment is sometimes required. These mags are usually available for $15-$25 each.

·  It has come to our attention that there are two Romanian mag. designs on the market, the correct "WASR" mag. for the "K" is noticeably narrower at the front than the main body.

·  Why not use the 30 rd. double stack AK mags, or a 100 rd. drum, that would be cool!

·  That is possible, we built one action with a 30 rd. mag. as an experiment.
.  We were not satisfied with the amount of metal that had to be milled away for the magazine to sit high enough for reliable feeding.

·  Removing so much metal from the receiver potentially opens us to an unacceptable level of liability, some one could claim that we had weakened the receiver by that modification.

·  Many states also limit hunters to a 5 rd. magazines, others have bans on magazines holding over ten rounds.

·  Using 5 or 10 rd. mags saves us from having to keep track of which states allow the mags we want to supply with each gun.

·  Are you planning to make the Enfield K in any other caliber's?

·  Not really. Most other caliber's use the wrong diameter bore, and there are plenty of guns available in those caliber's.
But if there is enough interest we may look at a .223 version of the "K", or 45-70 conversions.

·  What scope mount works best?

·  There are several scope mounts available, but most of the "No-Drill, No Tap" mounts are not steady enough for our standards.
We recently tried out an "S&K" mount, finding it to be much better than several other "instant" mounts, at a reasonable price.

·  The "William's"® #71 scope mount screws directly to the receiver, it is very solid, and allows the scope to be used as a "Quick Detachable" type so that scopes may be interchanged, or iron sights may be used if desired.

·  Is the completed conversion still a C&R gun?

·  Under our understanding of the law it is not.

Politics! Always under construction.

I feel compelled to post this page in an effort to preserve our constitution and country.

I started work on this Political Blog section in response to the sad current state of American politics and the supreme court's incredible McCain-Fiengold ruling.
That alleged "law" and the ruling upholding it, essentially attempted to repeal our first amendment rights in preparation for destroying the Second Amendment.
The content of my politics pages are likely to offend almost everyone on some point or another, this is my fair warning, if you are overly partisan or sensitive please just view our product pages.
 
I realize that some people may not agree with my view on some issues, and I tend to be plain spoken.
The views expressed here are my own, views expressed on linked sites are beyond my control.
I have decided that I cannot allow my voice to be suppressed for fear of "offending" some one, that would be too much like surrendering to the "PC" extortionist I intend to oppose at every opportunity!

The supreme court ruling upholding the "McCain-Fiengold campaign finance reform act" essentially repealed our "First Amendment" right to free speech.
Candidates and the fifth columnist media retain the ability to say whatever they like, but individuals and pro-gun advocacy groups may no longer buy media time or space to report on candidates positions or voting records regarding the second amendment within sixty days of an election!

Political activism on an individual level has now become more important than ever if we are to retain any ability to influence our elections and resulting legislation.

Seditionist enemies of a strong America have been targeting gun ownership in congress since 1933.
There has long been a rumor of a "One hundred year plan" to deprive us of our right to arms.
Major infringements of the second amendment were passed at the federal level in 1934, 1968, 1986, and 1994.
It has been just over ten years since the anti-gun rights hate groups achieved their most recent successes.
Two of these flagrant constitutional violations, the "Assault Weapon" and "High Capacity Magazine" bans have finally "sunset" after ten years!
The "sunset" provision was a bargaining chip to persuade fence sitters to vote for their passage, after six failed prior attempts.

The "Bans" automatically expired September, 13 of 2004!
HOORAY FOR OUR REGAINING A SMALL MEASURE OF OUR FREEDOM!

But we must remain vigilant to ensure that congress never passes new legislation to reinstate them!


These unconstitutional outrages have been allowed to stand by the courts, and a congress that has forsaken it's oath of office.
Now the traitorous personalities responsible for them feel confident enough to openly attack the first amendment!


I will list contact information for congress, particularly for Nevada.
I will list pro-gun bills to be supported, and anti constitution bills to be fought.
I will list links for pro-gun sites, and solid suggestions for supporting bills and candidates.
When the opportunity arises I will list candidates who support the constitution, and examples of liars trying to claim they support our rights when in fact they do not.
Many other sites will list at least some of this information, but too often they "pick & choose" what information they display with an eye to remaining "politically correct", or "mainstream".
This attitude plays into the hands of the seditionist, it assumes that it is possible to compromise with the extremist seeking to deprive us of our rights.
It is impossible to maintain a fair bargain with irrational people.
Each "compromise" we make will only be followed by more demands from the anti's, until we have "compromised" all of our rights away, one "law" at a time!

I will list information based on it's intent, without undue regard for weather or not it is "politically correct" or considered "Do-Able" by the self appointed arbiters of the pro-gun rights community.


Please help get these bills reintroduced!

They need our very vocal support in order to stand a chance at reintroduction and passage!

Each was an excellent bill, with strong long term benefits for our gun rights.

H.R. 1141, Veterans Firearms Heritage Act, currently stuck in committee.

H.R. 1791, Fairness in Firearm Testing Act.

H.R. ????,
Second Amendment Protection Act of 2007

Full details on these bills can be found at http://www.nfaoa.org


'08 primary results so far, my take.

What can I say, I am disgusted by the  "presidential candidates"  of both parties.

I think that in this election the races for congress are now clearly more important than the presidential race.
It has become clear that we will need genuine conservatives to limit the damage originating from the White House, no matter who wins!

Important Nevada 2008 political races!

To keep Nevada from being "Kalifornicated" it is imperative that assemblyman Bernie Anderson (D-Sparks) be defeated in the 2008 elections!
Bernie plays dirty, our candidate will need a strong stomach, an impeccable history, lots of monetary and volunteer help.


Contact information for members of congress.

John Ensign personally assured me that he was committed to ending the "Assault Weapon" and "High-Capacity" Magazine" bans!
Those bans DID end, with his help.

Senator Harry Reid (D) NV.

What kind of senator is Harry Reid, how does he truly think of gun owners?
Perhaps the following transcript of a campaign spot he ran during his campaign against John Ensign, will illustrate how he really feels about gun owners, and NRA members in particular!

 

“Stand Up”
Harry Reid Radio Spot :60

Comedienne: Thank You.  Thank You, Folks.  You know me, John Ensign’s worst nightmare. (Laughs)

People ask me if I make up these Ensign quotes.  I tell them, I'm not that funny. (Laughs)

Okay, before I begin, do we have any crazed and violent criminals in the audience? (Claps)

Yeah, Yeah, Okay, Well, I've got great news for you, John Ensign thinks the assault weapons ban is a stupid and ineffective law. (Boos)

And you thought Charleton Heston was your only friend. (Claps)

When John Ensign was asked what was in a piece of legislation he was working on, he said, “I don't know, I don't read the bills.” 
Maybe he'd prefer Shakespeare. (Laughs)

But let's not be too hard on Ensign.  I mean he did say he gave up millions of dollars to run for Congress. 
I guess he used to get a big, fat allowance to manage his father's gambling casinos.  (Laughs)

“Thank you, Folks.  You've been a great audience.” (Claps)


**Paid for by Friends for Harry Reid.**

 

Harry Reid would like gun owners to think he really supports us, he clearly does not, except when he is running for reelection!

Court cases important to the second amendment.

Details on the "Stuart Ruling", which may actually restore some integrity to the "Interstate Commerce Clause". The ICC has been abused as an unconstitutional power grab by congress and the Fed. Gov. for many years. If the ruling stands it may have great implications for our gun and state rights.
UPDATE! The case has been remanded back to the Ninth Cicuit for re-hearing, SCOTUS continues it's long record of cowardice regards our RKBA.
