Bubba'd milsurps are ideal for that kind of 'project'. Wouldn't have used a No. 1 myself though. Too many posible headaches.
Did you check the headspace first? Slug the barrel? Lee-Enfield barrels can measure from .311" to .315" and still be considered ok. Factory ammo uses .311" or .312" diameter bullets. Accuracy will be poor out of a .313" plus barrel.
The muzzle flash and noise out of an 18.5" barrel is going to be astounding. Won't make you any new friends on a range either. Find yourself a cheek rest too. The scope will be too high without one. Doesn't have to be the wooden No. 4 Rifle issue one. A tie-on reproduction, made for a 1903A4 Springfield, M1C/D or M14, will do nicely. So will one of the synthetic cheek rests made for an AR.
 
sun ray i have no idea how to shrink the pictures, and yes the rifle fires just fine, i fired it lots before this.

Northman, thanks and i know the sight looks wierd but its hard to tell that the rail actauly goes back a lot farther then it appears, so i just looks like the sight is hanging off...it really inst

On your computer open up the orriginal pic with "paint".
Select the option "image" then select "resize".
put aprox value of 40 in the two size box's and save after.
Then re-upload the pic to photo bucket and attach new link.

Very cool looking rifle, i have a near mint orriginal NO1,
I like sporters as well.
 
i dont think i would have ever messed with it, if it had been mint, but it was already messed with. Thanks for the compliments everyone

Sunray is going to have to stop being so cheap and get himself some high speed internet, He says that about half the pictures posted on this site.

Mind you some people so post enormous pics, but yours are fine.

I cut it with a industrial metal working bandsaw. So it was all level and flush

Cutting the barrel on a bandsaw...well...it definitely won't be all level and flush... It may look like it, but it's not. A bandsaw is the square nosed shovel of the metal shaping world...

Dial in the diameter with a 4 jaw chuck in the lathe, and then indicate off of the face. You'll see that it's really not square. The bright side is, dialing it in will be harder than re cutting the face and crowning :)
