We decided to try our hand at re-barreling some Enfield NO1 MKIII Rifles. Bill Geissele has several Enfields in his collection he has acquired over the years, but they are notorious for suffering from corrosion, especially those used in jungle environments.

We recently re-barreled two MKIII’s with Geissele CHF barrels, and applied our Nanoweapons coating to the hardware. These are now rebuilt to last as solid shooters, while retaining the historical patina that makes these stand out as pieces of firearms history.

That’s very nice. With minimum chamber dimensions?  Can you post some 100-yard (or 100 meter) groups?

That is excellent work.
I've had a few in my life.

I really need to pick up another.

Are you going to offer replacement barrels in the future or a service to replace them?

Currently have a No.5 303 Carbine  or commonly called the jungle carbine.
all matching #'s down to the mag.
Like all of the No.5's the rubber butt pad is solid as a rock now.

Anywho I'd be down for a chrome lined replacment for one as I will be buying one in 2026. I just need to find a nice one.

Super cool fun project.

Neat to see CHF can be done for relatively small projects, I had thought it was only a mass production process.

Good looking work.

That’s awesome!!

I consider the Lee Enfield, specifically the no4, to be the greatest bolt action battle rifle ever fielded… There were rifles that did certain things better than the Enfield, but as a total package, nothing beat it IMO.

OK...

There are a HUGE numbers of M1 Garands with tired barrels.  Barrels in .308/762x51 might be desirable too.

Just a thought!!!!!!
So... I find comfort in the fact that if Trump has to work so hard to go to Heaven, then there is a shit load of Democrats that have no f-cking chance to go anywhere but HELL. Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.

Finding a replacement barrel for a Garand isn’t difficult… Criterion makes them as to several other manufacturers.

True... but it would not be a Geissele!
