   What is a good used barrel No 1 Mk III with rear and front site bases worth?

I was offered one but at $65.00 it is a little rich for me, I think.

	I'd say $65 is about right for a good useable barrel with both sights.

	Any indications on the condition of the bores Paddy? As a comparison, well maybe not a fair comparison but a couple years ago I bought 3 #4 barrels with front sights. The bores were excellent, shiny with deep 2 grooves for $75 each plus shipping from a Canadian address. 2 of them are Longbranch's and one is a Maltby.

	It had a nice bore when I check by just holding it up to the inside store light. I will bring a bore light when I go back.

	Getting them in is ok with a bit of paperwork, getting them out from there is a big no. While there are a fair few around, the buggers that own them know how to milk the best price. It's almost cheaper to have a new one made.......except it's not quite the same.

	I guess it comes down to the old rule of supply and demand.

	I just heard a rumor that Lithgow is making a run of No1 barrels. They may even be making some new No1 rifles, if the information is right.

	That would be cool for our Mates from downunda but I do not know if we will see any finished product on this side of the pond. I wish we would.

	I'll bet not. They're probably defined as assault weapon evile death-killer thingies.

	India still manufactures sporting rifles based on the SMLE action, but in an odd ball 8mm chambering. Be nice if they produced a copy of the old BSA sporting rifles for export.

	I also heard the rumour about the barrels but haven't heard anything concrete. Don't know anything about no1's, I wouldn't think they would make them again but they are going to manufacture a range of sporting rifles, both rim fire and centre fire.
