M1917 Woes and Advice

[Chuckindenver]

before you go out and shoot,
look down the bore, if its dark, DONT SHOOT IT OUT!!, clean or replace the barrel first.
if the bore is ok, then test fire, and look at the case.
if it looks good, then shoot some more and enjoy..
My GI gauge, works better on 17,s then the ones on the market today..

I already gave the barrel a good scrubbing. When I finish getting the dents out of the stock, I'll debate if I should risk shooting it or not.

Who's got experience changing out these barrels?
