there are plenty of enfields that have been rechambered to .308. but with all that you need it is going to be very costly. also you will be destroying the collector value of the jungle carbine which is pretty high. your best bet would to be, sell the part of the carbine you got and look for a reasonably priced .308. since its not hunting season now, you should be able to pick something up for a bargin.
