US model 1917 questions from newbie

[Calfed]

As to stock and furniture, if I managed to find a complete Eddystone set for 60 euros from a scrapped rifle, you should be able to find something for a lot less than 200 dollars if you are patient and ask in every gunshop you come across if they have any salvaged bits.

I've got a P-17 complete stock. Unfortunately it currently holds a Winchester P-14. Patrick, Do you ever see any P-14 gunstocks over there? Although the P-17 stock works, it doesn't fit very well around the magazine cut-out. I would love to replace the stock on my P-14 with a proper one.

By the way, Mark2, I know your pain. I'm currently restoring a Winchester 1917 that a yahoo "sporterized". Luckily, I had a Winchester stock already.

Forgive the quality of the picture--it is from the on-line auction site.
