Where to get barrel changed

[topkick]

I'm new to the British Enfields and I could use some help. I need to have a barrel replaced on a No4 Mk1 and I can't find a local gunsmith in the Hampton Roads, VA area willing to do it. Do any of you have any suggestions as to where I can get it done.
Thanks

You will need to find one who has experience of changing ENFIELD barrels, and, who has several in stock.

Peter Laidler has commented in the past that armourers may have to go thru' several (brand new) barrels on the rack before they found one that fitted and clocked correctly.

You would be very lucky to buy just one and for it to fit correctly.
