They ARE different, you know.
Six basic types: early rifles had a HEAVY barrel.
Same THREAD was used for the LIGHT barrels on the SMLE.
Number 4 was different.
P-'14 was completely different.
And the Ross had TWO basic types.
Be sure what you are buying before you lay down your ca$h.
Good luck.

"...a used 303 Enfield barrel..." Which rifle? The real trick will be finding one though. The days of barrels of barrels are long gone.
If and when you do find one, ask what the inside diameter is. That can vary betyween .311" and .315" and still be considered ok. Commercial ammo uses .311" or .312" bullets.

They aren't hard to remove if you have the proper equipment. If you don't, be very careful or you will ruin your receiver and likely mark up the barrel.
George, I thought you were hiding in the sock closet???? Did twosteam persuade you to come out???
I dont have the proper equipment for sure, and its too expensive to buy to remove one barrel (or so I have heard)
trying to find someone local who has the tools (or to trade for a receiver), or it will get the "torque shoulder removal" method
