Right now, my barrel is shooting straight (I think.) I'm going to take it to the November CMP match and will know more then, but right now it doesn't look like I need a new barrel.
However, with the WW1 100th anniversary coming up in a few years, I'd think replacement barrels might become a hot item....you never know.

Chuck, Put me down for one. Let me know when they get in. JOEZ.
Sooo, what would a brand new (unused) Johnson Automatics 1917 barrel be worth, two groove?
worth and get are do different things...
2 years ago, 75.00 to 100.00 today? 200.00 and up.
I got rid of my M1917 w/a JA barrel last year. The barrel was not properly stress relieved and would "pop" over at around 30 rounds into a match. I now shoot a very nice M1917 with 5 groove barrel. Very good results.
I would also be interested in a new 1917 barrel. My old bbl is pretty pitted, rest of the rifle looks great. Thansk!
Put me down for a P14 barrel.
Hey guys, this is my first post here. This looks like a great forum!
Chuck, I'm debating which way to go with a replacement barrel for my Eddystone. I called Krieger and found that they'll make me a custom match grade barrel which is kind of the route that I'd prefer to go. I'm still in the process of weighing it out. Can you tell more about the barrels you'll have? I expect they'll have a parkerized finish. What kind of rifling, twist rate, number of grooves and manufacturer would be useful information. Do you have a set price for installation?
Thanks very much for your help!

i am definitely in, been trying to find one to refinish p14 drill purpose rifle! let me know what is going on with them.
to answer both questions.
first, make sure you ask them if the come with extractor and front sight keys cut, and a witness mark.
the taget barrel i just installed didnt come that way, and was shipped in the white.
read the range report on the barrel i installed a few weeks ago in another post.
yes, i do have a set price for barrel installation, if you cantact me direct, ill be happy to give that to you.
as for the barrels.
the up front cost is a bit steep, well over 1500.00 out my pocket, so it may take a few weeks to get that going.
i have access to 1917 barrels right now,
P14 barrrels will have to be paid for in advance, i really dont want to be stuck with a bunch of 14 barrels.
need to get more info on the import laws for barrels to Canada before this gets real crazy.
Hi Chuck,
You're absolutely correct about the Krieger match grade barrel being in-the-white, unthreaded, no extractor cut and no front sight key cut. I realize it puts more burden on the gunsmith (and expense to the owner) as well as making it a more complicated process eg. remove barrel, ship to Krieger, get barrel back, machine, parkerize, then install.
It's hard to discern which barrel to go with when you hear successful range reports using good original barrels, two groove arsenal installed Johnson Automatic barrels and aftermarket barrels. If, after installing another barrel, my rifle wasn't very accurate, I'd be kicking myself for not going the match grade route. On the other hand, why spend the extra money if everything else seems to work just fine?
I'll pm you shortly.

I have a Winchester M1917 with a slightly pitted barrel. I would like info on barrel replacement costs and how to send the rifle to you. TIA
