Did you say "Air Rifle" or mean a .22 rimfire trainer?
I've never heard of a .22 air rifle conversion before, but it is an Enfield so I never say never!
Pictures would be a huge help here as I can't even figure out HOW you'd do the conversion.

I'm not sure what the problem is with pellets either, what's special about these that it cant use regular old airgun pellets?:confused:
 
Wow, no airsoft or BB guns? Dude that sucks. How do you kill milk jugs over there?

I am very interested in seeing pictures as well. If it is, in fact, an airgun, then you can order 22 caliber pellets at numerous places around the internet.

EDIT: The 17 caliber version of these shoot best in my break-action air rifle:

A number of these conversions were done under the Saxby & Palmer system.
The government, unhappy about this, moved to make them registerable on the same basis as cartridge firearms, which removed any economic reason for doing them.
 
Smarty - As you're from GB, if you've already aquired it, it must be legal, or AFAIK you shouldn't have been allowed to aquire it. . :eek:

As posted - if it's .22 cal, IDK why any .22 cal pelgun pellet, available worldwide, shouldn't work.
