03A3 replacement barrels

**Calfed** · 04-13-2010 01:35 PM

I need a new barrel for an 03A3. I can get one from CMP icon

or look for a 2 groove replacement NIW RA barrel.

Anyone know anything about the CMP 03A3 barrels? 2 groove? 4 groove? Accuracy? Maker? Ease of installation? (any issues with it that make it more difficult to install)

Is there anything that makes the RA replacement barrels more desirable (other then historical accuracy) than the CMP bbls?

Also, I've read that the Gibbs "1903A4" replicas come with a Pedersoli made barrel. Can't find the barrels for sale anywhere. Are these barrels any good and are they available anywhere?

Thanks

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.

i have some new 2 groove Remington A3 barrels available installed..

Chuck, I'll certainly keep you in mind when I get ready to have it installed. Right now, I'm just looking for a replacement barrel to stick in the safe for that time when I'm ready for a new one.

Would like to get one before they all dry up.

Thanks.

There are lots of USGI barrels around. Just look. The 4 groove barrels that Gibbs is using are very good barrels. Not for sale, I understand.

creiterion makes 03 barrels

**mike radford** · 06-11-2012 08:12 PM

They are Criterion barrels used on Gibbs rifles and they are supposed to be available from CMP icon

. Last time I checked CMP did not have any in stock at the south store. The barrels are apparently very highly rated.

The gibbs barrels are/were indeed Italian icon

. The deal included SARCO and they have lots of issues between SARCO and Gibbs. They are nice barrels.

DGR list Criterion barrels for $ 189 I think unless I read it wrong 03 or 03-A3

**Wineman** · 06-12-2012 10:16 AM

The Criterion barrels are very good. I have one on an M1 icon

. The Cast Bullet Association does not permit these in their matches for as issued. The CMP icon

does not have any restrictions except that the replacements must meet military contours.
