    Josclyn centerfire conversion?

    Thought this would be a good place to ask if anyone here has converted Joslyn carbines to centerfire? Is it even practical?

    Steve - Yes, it has been done on both the Carbines and Rifles. Some have made completely more breech blocks, some have converted the existing block, and others have found old original Belgian altered center fire Joslyn breech blocks to use.
