    Refinished!

    Thanks.
    I figured the finish was too nice to be original. But I think it sure makes for an agreeable looking piece.
    Kind of like a dark, charcoal-grey parkerizing.

    Welcome, Merle!

    Got plenty of time - retired!

    The only 'time' investment is the initial setting up of the RCBS decapper, finding the best depth and angle for the pin. Once that is tweaked, just pop away.

    M1917 Mystery Receiver

    Because I have a 1918 Eddystone, a friend of mine showed me his MODEL OF 1917, and asked me to explain the receiver. I didn't know what to say.
