I read this on the National Match High Power forum. There is no announcement of this on Criterion's website yet, so for now, take it for what it's worth.

Good news!

I received an Email response today from Criterion Barrels on a recent query to them about adding #4 Enfield Barrels to their product line to allow the many surplus rifles out in the United Statesicon an opportunity to be rebarreled and extend their lives on the gunline. The email from them stated that they about 95% complete on the production of a run of #4 barrels which should be available soon.

This means that the Military Vintage Games may see new rifles on the podium to knock all the New Old Stock Swissicon and Swede rifles that have been dominating the matches in the last few years.

Just received an update from Criterion. They have an export agreement in place with their Australianicon Distributor (C96 Trading-Fine European Arms Importer and Wholesaler) and are working to finalize a deal with their Canadianicon Distributor so our Palma Teams may be competing against "as-new" Lee-Enfields pretty soon.

And considering the Lee-Enfield's propensity for sweet spots in long range accuracy it could make upcoming matches very interesting.
