    1903 Criterion CMP Barrels

    Anyone get one, what did it look like and how do they shoot?
    I almost fell over when I saw CMPicon had new Criterion Barrels for the '03s.
    The last time I priced a new version, it was very expensive and I have not been able to find any other barrels for my 03A1.
    I'd guess a button rifled Criterion made to CMP/USGI Specs would be a tack-driver.

    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 ...

    How Did you Break it in, and what load development did you do?
    If it was a dog, did you run it past CMPicon?
    I'm surprised it wouldn't be a decent shooter.....how many rounds did you put through it and did it improve any ?
