    Wanted: New .303/.375 bbl.

    Can anyone (Canada? Australia? Other?) supply me with a new ready-to-install 20" long barrel for a No. 4 Mk.1 Lee Enfield chambered for the .303Br./.375 wildcat cartridge, and a set of 7/8x14 reloading dies for same?? Please PM me your quote all up including shipping to Alberta, Canada, in CDN$$. (We can safely pull the existing bbl. and install the new one.) We'll be using the PC'd LEE C379-250-RF exclusively.

    Why don't you get Ron Smith to re-bore and re-rifle your existing barrel to .303 / .375? Ron will re-bore your existing barrel for about $350 and will do it in gain twist to boot. If you absolutely want a new barrel to replace the old one then Ron could supply you with that too, but the cost would be higher. Ron's barrels have been winning competitions shooting cast lead boolits for years. (I had Ron re-bore one of my .308 Remington 600 barrels out to .358 Winchester with gain twist last year.)

    JES Reboring did my Enfield to .35-303 and .375 was an option. Cost $250 and was turned around in one week.

    Send your Stripped Barreled action with bolt to him and he'll bore, rifle and headspace perfectly. Excellent work and well regarded at this site.

    Since the original poster is located in Alberta, Canada shipping a barreled action down to JES in the US would involve too much paperwork for export / import to get it down there and then get it back up to Canada again. That and the current exchange on the US / Canadian dollar would make the final result fairly expensive. Ron Smith is located in Alberta where the OP lives and he does awesome work ... in Canadian dollars ...
