Well, I picked up an Enfield recently, and fell flat in love with it. My Fiancee's been hesitant about my weapons, so I try to keep from pressing the subject too much on her, and she keeps from worrying too much about it, since I've proven myself to her that I'm a very responsible shooter.
Problem is, My weapons aren't geared towards varmit getting. No one needs to explain what a .40 S&W, 9mm, 12-Gauge, or a .303 will do to poor Mr. Cottontail. My Fiancee, while she respects my shooting lifestyle and lets me have my fun as long as I'm safe, she doesn't want me getting anymore weapons. Fine by me, I'm not asking y'all about my relationship choices. I'm asking about what's in the title.
I found a .303 British to .32ACP conversion sleeve online, and it's gotten me excited. Do these function well in Enfields? How do they function at all? It looks like a hollowed out steel version of a .303 casing that you stick a .32 round into.
I know full well that a .32 isn't a high-powered round(though it started a World War and Ended another, so to speak), but it should be more than adequate for shooting critters like Rabbits, Squirrels, Possums, and the like? By my guess, it's somewhere between the .22LR and the .30 Carbine in the Varmit hunting powerband.
Frankly, I think I may be onto something. I'll keep the missus-to-be happy, I'll keep my big, heavy Enfield, and if a Hog or something wanders onto me while I'm popping bunnies for the dinnertable, I could always jack-out the sleeve and throw in some of the good stuff, right?
