I have an Enfield No4 Mk1 that I'm looking at restoring. Supposedly, my great grandfather bought three of them back in the early 50's for $10 a piece. At one point in it's life, the barrel and forearm were cut short to sporterize it and the top hand guards done away with. The front sight was replaced a ramp-like sight with Parker Hale on the side. It actually looks some effort was put into sporterizing it.
Now, finding stocks and bands and the other metal odds and ends is a fairly easy task. The thing I'm wondering about is the barrel. Where would one go for a Lee Enfield barrel? Enfields are not super rare but they are not as common as Mausers are. Right now I'm in the planing stages so I'm open for any suggestions or ideas, I'm eager to learn anything and everything about old milsurps.
Thanks
