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.

They used the original barrels on the rifles I believe. They would have started life most likely in 7x57mm Mauser. Since 30.06 is 7.62x63mm (I THINK...), you'd have to bore it out further along with the chamber cuts....

there are all sorts of barrels out there new in the white so it might be a good idea to ring around the gunshops ( Cleavers seem to have a lot fo stuff ) and see if by some miracle you are in luck.
Failing that, I don't beleive it is a lot to get something made by sprinter or similar.
