Nice looking rifle! Waiting for a range report 😉

My understanding is the 17 was the primary rifle used in WWI by the Americans ( other than early Win's) and far outnumbered the 03's in service at that time. Their original service life was short but...

45gr 4895 150gr Hornady flat base bullet. I tried from 43-47gr of powder that seemed the best-that particularl day who knows if It'll continue

Made it to the range with my Win 17 this morning. Had a bunch of handloads worked up it definitely prefers 150 gr flat base bullets over 168 BT. Best 5 round group was just a bit over 1-1/2" moa @...

Thanks guys I read the instructions but Iam working off a I phone and I don't see how to get to the advanced features. I'll get a few pics emailed to one of you. Thanks

Great story. I have a story about my Win 17 also. I originally started out with a mix master Eddystone with a HS barrel that I picked up at a pawn shop. When I got it home and striped it the...

I had read about barrel pressure at the nose of the stock but hadn't really looked at mine until it was brought up. When I checked it there was a fair amount of movement at the upper band so I...

I've checked the throat with a gauge it measures just a bit over 1 what I was trying to do was get an idea of what C.O.A.L to load without pushing the bullet into the rifling

Been playing with my Win Model of 1917 trying to get it to shoot better original 10/17 barrel ME one plus throat is about the same the crown is good but the bore is really dirty but appears to be...

Not an expert on barrel condition it looks ok to me the ME 1 plus and the crown looks good the throat measures about the same.

Thanks... I think the barrel is original to the receiver 10/17 it actually measures pretty good 1.5 ME and the throats is about the same the bore was really dirty it has cleaned up quite a bit and...

I have a Model of 1917 Winchester (45353) that is pretty clean and appears to all correct if not original. It shoots about 3 moa which I would guess is about all you could expect. I would like it to...
