Abstract

An improvement for a caliber conversion kit for semiautomatic and automatic firearms to allow the use of smaller caliber ammunition within. The conversion kit comprises the replacement of the bolt, barrel and magazine clip of the existing firearm so that the firing speed and thus the action or feel is similar to a standard nonmodified firearm having larger caliber ammunition.
