I remember being shown (20 yrs ago) a superb Swedishicon Mauser which had been smooth-bored , but not to a shot-gun calibre although acceptable on a S/G certificate and it would obviously chamber blanks . Don't expect it was done in those days for re-enactment , esp. as a Swede (no offence intended) but it would have made a very attractive wall-hanger in the days when individual smooth-bores did not have to be registered .
I suppose the question is ... has this Lee-Enfield got a smooth bore , or has it still got its original .303 bore ? Neither would be lethal (to the user) if chambered with a live 7.62 round . But if it has an obstructed barrel ..... nasty .
