Bolt on Eddystone 1917 wont chamber a round?

Did you have it checked for proper headspace by a gunsmith, during the rearsenal process barrels get changed out. Sometimes they get turned in to far, there is a witness mark on the underside of the barrel and chamber to align. You also may have some gunk built up in the chamber, chuck in a chamber brush on a short rod and clean the chamber well with your favorite cleaner. FWIW.

Get the serial number off the receiver, there is a site that crosses the date on the barrel to the serial number. Last I remember no more that a couple months difference.

At least its a clue on a home barrel job.

U.S. Military Dates of Manufacture

Works if its an Eddystone, if not go to the core site and put in Winchester or Remington.

Example: I have a barreled action that receiver date is November of 1918. I know the barrel was a civilian barrel but even if not, its date is 6-1918, ergo even if I did not know it was an R barrel that were never put on E receivers I would know it was a civilian barrel change, Military never did that.
