No. 4 Mk 1 Barrel Replacements

[Centurion]

A friend of mine is getting together a barrel order with a major European manufacturer to make a run of No. 4 Mk 1 barrels. These will be threaded and chambered in .303, as it is planned, although he is considering short-chambering these instead. The barrels will be exact replicas with 4 grooves, in modern steel, including the bayonet lugs. To be most-economical, the larger the order, the better for those of us ordering. Check out Welcome to Lee-Enfield Rifles, or simply use "Canwest Triggers." as a keyword on google and follow the links. He's hoping to place his initial order in February. He also sells adjustable triggers for the Lee-Enfield rifle

By exact replica I am assuming you just mean to original specs, and that you don't mean he's going to be putting on inspection and proofs as well? Replacement barrels to fix up guns with shot out barrels is a great idea, but original markings is not. Do you know what the approximate cost will be? It would be great, as #4 barrels for some reason seem to be hard to come by, but not SMLE for some reason.
