Sporterized LEC technical question

[enefgee]

My LGS has a couple of sporterized Lee Enfield (Metford?) Carbines, and while I think they pretty interesting little rifles, I was wondering if the LEC action breaches up using the same threads as the No1. I can get a new production barrel for the No1 and get it reprofiled, but only if they breach up the same way. Is this a possibility, or did they use different oddball threads than the No 1 Mk III ?

The breech threads on the carbines and Long Lees are identical to those of the No. 1. Basically, the same receiver with minor differences.

Thank you, I was hoping that was the case - but you never know until you ask.
