I have a Win. P14 action and cut-down "sporterized" Enfield stock. I would like to install a standard .303 barrel, either new or used. Does anyone know where I might get one? Thank you.

Holt's Auctioneers in England have a few of these in their sales each month as COMPLETE RIFLES. Sometimes with the original 303 barrel and sometimes with a replacement 308 barrel.

I always had a hankering to re-chamber one of those 308 barrels to 300 H & H and make use of the old 303 bolt (and magazine) being just about "right" to accept a 300 H & H shape case!

I had one in .311 Norma Magnum. Very easy conversion.
