We had a SMLE barrel adapted with brass rings front and rear for a 3 pounder (or was it a 4" deck gun) Naval gun. Hand extraction and ejection of course. I always wondered about the practicalities of such a beast but............. I mean...., what do they shoot at? Does someone mount a ship target screen at the front of the deck casing? Or do they have a deck gun munted on the 100 yard range at the deck gunners training school? Or just move the ship/submaring into the 25 yard min range as we used to do with the anti-tank guns and tanks when using sub-cal adaptors?

As Josh mentioned, Criterion has a Lithgow
"H" barrel on premises, as well as a Metford barrel that was taken off a rifle I picked up from Gunbroker. I'd really love for Criterion to make up the heavy contour barrel, with the early Knocks (sp) form for a Lee Speed sporter I've stashed.

We're working on that as well Vincent. CBI New Product Update

Thanks for the heads up. If these initial batches fly out the door, that configuration will probably be soon to follow.
