    US source for the rare No 4 barrel

    They probably won't ship to Canadaicon but $50 for decent No 4 barrels is good...they're not usually easy to find.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    "good" condition usually isn't very "good" in my experience. Truely nice items are usually "Very good" or "Excellent". FWIW, Northridge DOES sell "VG and "Exc." grade parts ofr other rifles, so I suspect "good" really means "fireable" and not much more

    No big surprise there. Barrels are controlled anyway and require all the paperwork. Best bet- find one to buy in Canada...if you can. I got one on ebay from Maritime Collectibles.

    Your sure on their site:

    Foreign Orders: Add $15.00 to the estimate above. Please call for shipping costs outside the USAicon.
    There is a $50 minimum on foreign orders.

    Considering I just ordered a bunch of 1903 Springfield parts from them, I beg to differ. They DO ship to Canadaicon. Not sure about Barrels though.
