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 cleaning up. Out of curiosity I tried a un scientific way of measuring the chamber length. I closed the Bolt and slid a 1/4" wooden dowel down the barrel until touched the Bolt face and made a mark then I opened the Bolt slid just a 150gr bullet into the chamber until it made contact with the rifling and then re-inserted the dowel until it touched the bullet and made a mark it measures 3.30" between the marks which seems pretty tight to me. Anyone else tried thisInformation
