M1917 Saved for a Future Rebuild

[SPAD 124]

I found a M1917 Eddystone in similar condition about 18 months ago. October 1918 receiver and barrel in a nice Boyd's sporter stock. The receiver and barrel were still GI, not sporterized. The barrel is in good shape, some wear, but clean. My son and I had a great time restocking the action and barrel back into a military stock. We wound up using a Boyds military stock as it was impossible to find military stock for less than the price of the Eddystone at that time. Now it seems there are more military stocks around. Have fun.

What are you going to do with the sporter stock?

What are you going to do with the sporter stock?

Not sure at this point. I was starting to look for a sporterized M1917 action and barrel, but haven't had the time to go to many gunshows lately. The on line auction sites seem way to high.
