need a barrel for a 1903

New US GI replacement barrels are very scarce. If found expect to pay $4-500. Then there is the installation cost incl finish reaming. Criterion barrels makes a MILSPEC replacement but it requires both a rear and front sight base/collar. Criterion M1 Garand barrels are available in Canada, but I've never seen one of their M1903 barrels for sale. Criterion Garand barrels are good shooters and are on par with US GI replacement barrels.
Barrels can be imported from the US provided the necessary US export permit is obtained.
The majority of M1903s that I've seen over the years have needed replacement barrels due to heavy use and shooting corrosive primed military ammo.

So I took this guy out just for some fun along with my shtle both made in 1918. I got both for 800 the barrel on the springfield was so bad looking the guy gave it to me 300 and I got the shtle for 500 the barrel looks brand new but they both shoot great and better then I can aim.
