Bolt on Eddystone 1917 wont chamber a round?

[RC20]

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.
