I thought 405 was too long for the action and too high pressure?
Lee Enfield 303 British? Nope!

There are numerous inexpensive sported Lee Enfield rifles available for projects.
New barrels can be fitted by using the stump of the original barrel as a collar, by using a Savage type barrel nut, or by fitting a conventional shouldered barrel. The breechface requires the extractor cut, but is otherwise straightforward. Lee Enfield barrel shanks are 1-14, so it may be possible to adapt take-off barrels from other rifles which have larger diameter shanks.
There are scope mounting options for both round and flat sided receivers.
The OP's rifle is very well done, and shows what can be achieved.

Spot on.

I thought Enfields had some oddball British ACME thread design? It almost sounds simple to get a barrel fitted if the right individual is taking on the project.
