    Gunsmith for rebarreling two Nº4s?

    I am hoping that someone here knows of a "nearby", reputable & reasonably-priced Lee-Enfield gunsmith to whom I can mail 2 excellent-condition barrels-on-rcvr-stubs & 2 barreled receivers w/bolts (and an assortment of boltheads) for a barrel swap.

    Quite awhile ago I tried "de-stubbing" one of the barrels in my oak-block-inserts barrel vise and it was the source of GREAT frustration and not a little profanity.

    I am just now getting back into this hobby following a hiatus of several years and would like to get this accomplished.

    FWIW, I am located in rural northern Virginia, USAicon.

    Thank you!

    Kim

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...
