    need a gunsmith

    I know I'll get some flack from this (maybe not), but what I want to do is swap the barrels on two M1s. I've got an SA mixmaster with an H&R barrel and an otherwise mostly matching H&R with an LMR barrel. I think the H&R would make a good project to restore, the SA will make a good shooter- it's too mixed up to be worth the restoration effort.
    Cost is, as always, a consideration.
    So-who do know that would do this (and maybe check headspace and all).
    Ideally, a guy in the southern/central California area.
    Thanks all.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Depending on the serial # the LMR barrel could be correct for your rifle. Why do you want to change it?

    With the bore gauge, it looks like the mw of a M14icon can be checked w/o removing the flash suppressor?
