[QUOTE="UPEgger, post: 2276565, member: 102175"] During the sixties I converted a 1917 Enfield to a 458 Win Mag. Changes: cock on opening, remove rear sight ears fill in two oval holes, straighten floor plate. douglas barrel. Changed stock to walnut and glass bedded. These were simply changes. The Enfield had an extra 1/2 in of cartridge room over the springfield. And mine was made by Remington. To a collector this did indeed ruin the rifle. To me it produced a rifle that shot the cartridge of my choice. [/QUOTE]
