Jim,
Both the #1 MkIII and the #4 MkI were made in the millions and it seems the small parts are currently available for both.
As for bore condition, at least the ones I have seen, the #4's are usually in better shape with an exception of the Lithgow made #1's. These usually are as good as the #4's bore wise.

As above. The No5 Jungle Carbines normally have well used bores. Seems people put these to good use even after the war. Just me, but I too would prefer an already sportirized job. I like to leave those in original condition in that condition. Original unused 303 barrels are available if you find a good action with a shoddy barrel.
