5 Groove barrel?

**docbob** · 05-13-2013 11:04 AM

I have an Eddystone '17 that has an unmarked barrel with four grooves, right hand twist. I assume it is a JA barrel. It's a little smaller diameter behind the front sight than my original Remington.

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.

Its possible its an HS

It's got me puzzled. It's unmarked, smaller diameter and has a flat muzzle. It's got a great bore and shoots good with cast bullets. Another of life's mysteries.

may be an aftermarket barrel

Yeah, ChuckinDenver,
I thought of that, too. Seems strange to not have any markings on it but as long as it shoots good, I'm pleased with it.

Useful news for owners of P-14, M-17 and No4 rifles here:

Criterion Barrels, Inc.

Cost will be the decider, especially with the "fun" to be had fitting P-14 barrels.
