Anyone ever re barrel a shot out '03 or a3 in .308, just to have something different?

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.

Sorry, but no. It would only serve to lower the value of the rifle as opposed to replacing the barrel with a proper one. There are also some problems with the taper of the cartridge and the feeding from the magazine which may also require modifications to the receiver. I am sure that many 1903 actions have been chambered in 308 in sporters.
