I am wondering what was the typical MW/TE on new production M1917 barrels. I currently have 3 M1917's; an Eddystone 1,277,XXX bbl 11-18 MW 2.75 TE- 4.0 (no rebuiild marks, pitted bore), Remington 279,XXX bbl 7-18 MW-2.5, TE-3.0 (O.G.E.K. nice bore) and a Winchester 321,XXX 6-18 MW-2 TE-3.0 (original, no rebuild markings, perfect bore, SA 131 stamped on buttplate). These barrel readings seem appreciably higher than my assorted M1903's of the same age/condition. Observations/comments?Information
