    update on CMP 03 and A3 barrels

    im working on a customers A3, with a CMPicon new barrel.
    over all finish is nice, color a bit off, but no big deal, extractor and sight key notch is good,
    however, barrel wont index correctly, still too far to do with a wrench, shoulder needs cleaned up just a tad, to take it up home.
    no witness mark on the barrel, so a sighting eyeball will be needed, ill stake a witness mark when finished.
    yet to see a 1903 barrel, im sure ill have one in my hands soon enough.
    will find out today id the sight, extractor cut are all in line right, 4 groove rifling looks nice, im sure its short chambered as well.
    ill update again when finished.

    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.

    none..ill try and install it on Weds, i have to use a buddies lathe, to turn the shoulder back a tad.
    all these years, and this is the first 03 that ill have to turn a shoulder back on to fit a barrel,.even on a few custom sporter rifles, in weird cal, iv not had to turn the shoulder..
    iv had to draw file a couple to get them up, but never this bad.
