Thanks Bill,

Even though I have an extra lower I thought I might get a NoDak, or, a McKay. From the NoDak website it looks like they start with a McKay.

Norrell looks like a good option. Your...

I'm interested in starting a retro build. A few years ago I had a Century C15A1 that I liked for the history of it, but it wasn't a very good rifle, FTEs and not very accurate. I traded it off some...

Derek,

Very nice restoration! You did well to honor an old warhorse.

As to cost, sometimes the dollar cost to restore is more than dollar cost of finding an unrestored example. ...

My son and I did the same thing two summers ago. We found an Eddystone from October 1918 with an Oct 1918 barrel that had been mounted in a Boyd's sporter stock. The bolt was also a Winchester. ...

Not sure at this point. I was starting to look for a sporterized M1917 action and barrel, but haven't had the time to go to many gunshows lately. The on line auction sites seem way to high.

I've read that Eddystone started parkerizing around October 1918. Before that Eddystone rifles were rust blued. The greenish parkerizing would come from a later WWII rebuild. It's possible to find...

I found a M1917 Eddystone in similar condition about 18 months ago. October 1918 receiver and barrel in a nice Boyd's sporter stock. The receiver and barrel were still GI, not sporterized. The...

I agree with US019255. Your M1 was meant to deliver 150 gr bullets downrange. Seems like it does what it was intended to do. I have a post Korean War HRA M1 that is a great shooter. It didn't...

My father in law was a company armorer in Europe in 1953-54 in the 5th Divison. They had a mixed lot of Garands, some new, some old. Most of the bayonets he had in his arms room were WWII cut down...

I guess I tend to buy shooters because I enjoy finding out the differences between calibers, actions, stocks, etc. Part of that also means I shoot them. If I had a transitional 1911 like the one...

I know a lot of people don't like them because of where they are made, but look at a Norinco 1911a1 if you run across one. I've had one since the early 90s. It's not picky when it comes to ammo-...

i also have a 43 Inland BlueSky. (It actually groups pretty well!) I've thought about the Numrich stock set, but haven't ordered one yet. Still deciding. If you order one, let me know what you...

Try Sarco for P14 stocks and handguards. They list proper P14 stocks for about $150. Don't know the condition. The Boyds price at $144 is now about the same as the original stocks from Sarco, so...

Paul,

If you can order from Numrich or Sarco in the US they both have original handguards with the metal reinforcement. Some are unused NOS. That might be the best option. The reinforcement...

To your original question about a Boyds stock. Boyds makes a M1917 stock and handguards. I was fed up with the high prices for an original and bought a Boyds to restock an otherwise original...

Recently I bought an Eddystone M1917 with the receiver and barrel still in military configuration, nothing cut down, but in a Boyds sporter stock. The receiver SN seems to date to October 1918 and it...
