I would strongly advise against shaving the barrels until you know what the compression ratio actually is, as i said before. Be wary also of packingthe barrel at the base gasket. this will run the cam followers lower in their slots.

At £189 it seems not so bad, a new barrel for an Enfield is about £130+ which is only one hole ( why do holes cost so much??) and for a BMW nearly as much ( and you need two).
