My 410 No.4 (S.2) will hopefully in the future at some stage become a .45ACP DeLisle (21stC upgrade though; not copying some of the poor components/features of the original)
My 6.5x55 M96 shotgun - no planned projects for it - may have a .22 barrel liner fitted & use it as a trainer
My 7.62 M91 VKT shotgun (S.1) - that will stay as is
That's what I did, turned my Lee Enfield actioned 410 into a faux No 6 'jungle carbine' 22lr trainer.

Edit: Could be fun to change it to a 22WMR or 22 Hornet!
