When did a M1917 stock become worth $500.00. I think I will remove the stocks from my three sell them and replace them with Boyd's stocks. Buying 3 would cost less the $500.00!!

Stu my friend that is so true! My Winchester stock cost me 200.00, and I thought I was taken for a ride. but since then I have not seen an Eddystone stock go for

les then 365.00.

I have a Remington for about 20 years now, that as of today is 100% correct. I have a Winchester that I bought about 2 months ago, Stu was there, that is now almost correct. It still need a bolt sleeve and a barrel. I also now have an Eddystone that I bought as a barreled receiver it has a Winchester barrel that has the cleanest bore I have ever seen on a 1917. I thought that solved my Winchester barrel problem, of course I was wrong. I learned that you should always look through a barrel from both ends. I would appear that there was a case head separation and the removed it with some kind of chisel or a screw driver. very serious gouges and high spots. I cleaned it up with a finish reamer, but not completely I will now take a chamber gauge and will not close on a no-go gauge but it dent the brass on the way in. If I can clean it up better and alleviate the high spot I will swap it, if not I have a Johnson barrel to put on my Eddystone. Sometimes I wish I had taken up gardening!!
