    I Need To Rebarrel My 03A3

    I have a NOS 2 groove still packed with cosmo I bought years ago and need to replace the rough 4 groove that is one the rifle now. The remainder of the rifle is a solid shooter grade (IMO) but the bore was not properly cleaned and most likely sat in a corner for many years. Anyhow, I live in VA and want someone to do the job that I can trust and is reasonable. There are several smiths in the area but they range from mediocre to won't touch it unless I'm building a 3K+ gun with no middle of the road folks that I can find. Where should I send the barreled action and bolt for work I can trust?

    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.

    Gus reads this site. Try posting a request here for a "Gus Fisher" help. Mind you, I am not certain if he does '03 work.

    Blacksan,

    You can try to PM 'GUS FISHER' at the link below if you're looking for somebody who may be near you. I just checked and he hasn't posted here for a while though, and he doesn't show he's accepting emails through the site.

    Military Surplus Collectors Forums

    If you need to ship it, I'd give 'CHUCKINDENVER' the nod though. I've done business with him before and had quick turnaround. He's very knowledgeable with 03A3's and he does quality work for a fair price. He's very active here and you should get a quick response.

    You can send him a PM here:

    Chuck's email through this site is:
