Fitting a Lithgow H barrel to a no1 mk3* with a shotout barrel

**ssj** · 06-11-2015 10:11 PM

What is involved in fitting such a barrel please? Looks like the barrel groove may need to be opened up in the forestock? The rear sight fitted, so the barrel drilled and pinned for it?

Also the rear sight body reamed?

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.

I would say all of the above. If memory serves, there is a thread or two on the topic here somewhere.
