My New 1917

[Patrick Chadwick]

I think when Patrick said "commercial", he meant an outside entity i.e. gunsmith replaced the Eddystone barrel with the Winchester

I did indeed, and wrote so quite clearly - at. least, I think so!
"... the barrel is probably a "commercial" (i.e. non-arsenal) replacement... "

James, just shoot it as is is. M1917s work excellently without any of the black magic of stock tuning with carefully dosed muzzle pressure etc. And when you get a replacement stock, fit it so that the barrel is free floating!
