Lazerwolf- It is probably not worth the effort to try to fit a new m1917 receiver to your parts rifle. For the amount that you would invest in tools and parts (new receiver) you probably can find another nice m1917. I would check the head spacing to insure there is no problem there. Then shoot the rifle. They are great fun and accurate especially with a Parker hale rear target sight.
