I think it would be cheaper to buy another one rather than fix one. Pricing starts at about free to $150 for a sporterized rifle.

One thing to look for is corroded barrels as most people after the war who either bought their rifle, or purchased one surplus, never cleaned them so a lot of them sat in the corner of the closet rotting from the murcury in the military primers.

I learned today was that when Britain was cranking out these units, there were a lot of rifles with only two groves. More like a shotgun barrel. I looked over mine and I've got one. I've never shot it so I don't know how it shoots and I'll never find out because it is going to a gun show next weekend.

One other thing I learned was that some of the barrels were bored off center. When a friend of mine was a lot younger, he was good friends with a gun smith that sporterized people's Lee Enfields. He was showed a bucket filled with barrel crops and he could see quite easily the difference in wall thickness surrounding the bore.

All this said, it's a good rifle that will take most of North American game. It was my first rifle.
