Should I buy Eddystone 1917

[Chuckindenver]

I bought a 1917 at CMP for $300 from the salvage rack. It looked better than any other and had good life left in the barrel. I did notice a scratch on the receiver, but felt it was superficial. Wrong! My son asked about it and said I needed to get a gunsmith to check it out. It was a crack. For $150 he welded and heat treated it and it shoots great. So it's a $450 rifle instead of a $300. Still a bargain. I will probably refinish it but have some other projects in front of it.

This is my first post by the way. I have a sick Garand that brought led me to this site. More on that later.

id like to see pictures of that, and know how someone reheatreated a receiver.
