Winchester M1917 in box of parts, looking for gunsmith, need barrel.

[ssgross]

new barrels are in stock at CMP https://estore.thecmp.org/Catalog/Item/065CRI/1917
They are a few months behind on fulfillment, so while you wait you can clean up your parts and work on smoothing out fit and function. A fine sandblasting and re-bluing will make it a pretty shooter. looks like you have some duplicate parts so you can be choosy .

chuckndenver does a great job at bluing or parkerizing, among other things. He usually has an ad on forum - warpath vintage llc.

Thanks! Already sent a note to Chuck. I have some trade fodder, so I'm hoping someone has a M1917 barrel they would wan to trade before I pay for the CMP one, but it's a good option.

Very nice and a bargain for $199.95 US Pity we can't get them to do some .303 barrels as well, preferably in a blued finish.

I guess that means they are out there, in theory at least.
