The best way would be to try to find one of those kits that used to be sold by UK companies that included a 7.62mm barrel with the same external contours as the .303 one, a spring steel adapter for the stripper clip guide, a 7.62mm extractor, a 7.62 proofed bolt head, a 7.62mm magazine (there were a couple of types), and depending on the magazine, a 7.62mm ejector could be included as well. These were made for No. 4s and No. 5s. You would likely have to replace the front sight blade as well. The DCRA in Canada used to do No. 4 conversions, but I don't believe they do anymore.

The parts mentioned above can pretty much all be found seperately (but the clip guide adapters are almost impossible to fund by themselves); if need be, I'm sure you could find a custom barrel maker who can make a suitable barrel with the right threads and external contours.

The cost of retrofit and parts would probably pay for a simple reloading setup...

Aim surplus http://www.aimsurplus.com/ and these guys http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/ sell Privi Partisan 174 grain boxer primed .303 for less than $15/20 before shipping. Good rounds and lot's of brass to reload later.

Buy an Ishapore 2a in 7.62 nato and forgo the conversion or get a Lee loader in 303 for $20 and load your own .303

+1...For the time and money you are going to put into a conversion you should just get an Ishapore....Mine is one of my most accurate rifles.

Cheeper to sell your gun and buy a 308.....or live with it.

Is it going to be for sale? Get an Ishapore.

It will be less expensive to purchase an Ishapore 2A in 7.62x51mm, than it would be for you to acquire a 7.62x51mm conversion kit.

Well yes there is and I'm still looking for the WW2 remote controled anti tank donky.

Do you have a picture of the clip guide adapter? I've never been sure what it looks like.

As for getting an Ishapore, that doesn't really help if you really want a .308 No. 5.
