    Arguable whether it is worth the money, but you could also have the barrel sleeved back .303". I would hazard a guess that the bolt in the rifle is from another No1 MkV, in which case, you should post over in the "match-making" threads as you have a 1 in 25,000 chance of finding it, or finding the rifle that needs your bolt!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I don't think you can "sleeve" it back to .303...those liners aren't meant for high pressure cartridges like this.

    Why? It would still be Section 1 and would help ruin the collector value of a rare(ish) rifle even more.

    With all the talk of the impossibility of sleeving back to .303, the possible journey to Canadaicon and .22 SMLE type rifles raise eyebrows on indoor ranges.
