Hello
I have reviewed this site as well as Skennerton’s book. Still needing information on origins, dates of conversions, etc. I just found one of these conversions and trying to find out more.

Thanks

Ditto on what Lyman said. Here's the directory:

Both the Lee Enfield and the .22 board should find someone who's been there before you.

Are you considering purchase? Joe Salter is always pricey, so expect to pay a premium. That said, there aren't many around on the loose. Can't make out the wrist markings, but the wood has been stripped of its natural patina (over cleaned) prior to refinish. The rear sight is a Sutherland off a Canadian Ross rifle. Something to consider if you're looking for original.
