Newly Manufactured No1Mk111 Barrels

Hi Guys,

I have had some No1Mk111 barrels made in both standard and heavy profiles. They will arrive in Australia in April or May. They are in the white and short chambered, so they don't "just screw in", but are minimal work.

This is a short run, and I may well get subsequent runs tightened up to make them completely "prefitting", but I can't see the point really. They need to be fitted regardless and whats the difference if they need a final reaming to get the CHS right. Anyway that's down the track.

Pricing is pretty well confirmed and I'm very happy with it. I don't want to publish it at this point but it will be available very soon. I'll be offering a very attractively priced supply and fit option too.

I'll post some pictures in the coming days, but they do exist!!

Looking pretty good to me. To be dispatched this week. They will be available in heavy and standard profile.

I'm about ready to cry seeing those beauties! I wish someone would make some over on this side of the world.

Criterion in Wisconsin has them on the drawing board.

I just read Criterion's last news blurb that mentioned that.

I may be able to supply in the US.

Let us know if you can.

Why are they in the white?

Because they have not been blued yet.

What about UK? Any chance?

Try Fultons, and if they can't supply send me a PM.

Harry,
in the UK, finding a barrel should still not be a problem for a No 1 Mk III rifle (SMLE). You should be able to get an unfired WW2 dated South African barrel fitted for a reasonable price, e.g. from Phil Rose. PM me if you want Phil's contact details.
By contrast, unfired No 4 barrels are scarce, thus Armalon (a British company in London) has re-manufactured them.
