By far the easiest is the front site tool, I have one, average adjustment. Its not like they shoot sub MOA, get it in the area and good for any ammo combo.
Great information from all, well done!
As noted, the production numbers were beyond belief for any mfg of anything let alone WWI and the hand labor as well as the industry problem with employees...
To the best of my knowledge neither .
I disagree. Missing here as well is you don't have to trim just to minimum, you can trim more .005 or .010 extras and not be an issue. Ergo, over-trim a bit , run the whole Batch through...
I don't think there was an Sniper preference. Have not read of it. Winchester has not struck me as better built that Eddy or Remington. They are more rare so get some attention from that...
I am asking $950, yes I know that may seem high but I have seen them in that range. Oddly, I got this as a kid age about 7 from a mail order and it was luck of the draw. UPS Money order.

Not that I have quit work (quit not retired, we had no retirement, what we have is what we put together over the years).
Ok, time to clean up the gun works, I have too many I don't shoot. ...
I will have to try that!
I have tried the LYamn Eye Pal (?) stick on peep. It works well with the 1917 peep and I can see to shoot at 100 yards with it on a 1 inch size.
Issue is they...
Guffey is his usual obscure self.
I am not a world expert of course, just a piss ant enthusiast. All the 1917s I have now and the ones gone through my hands (8 or so) all had mixed parts...
If three people can't figure out how to cut a barrel for relief, then they are knuckle draggers not gun smiths.
Lot of here say vs someone who does the job day in day out.
I don't know about the Notch.
I have not seen any info the Nords sold 1917 to Danes, does not mean it did not happen.
If it was in Dane hands it should have the bolt with SN and the...
If its a Canadian Danish return it should have several distinct features
Bolt handle will have a SN on the underside . Likely not the same SN as the rifle but it should have it (they got...
2 inches for 5 shots is nothing to sneeze at. Having looked at about 2- x 19017 barrel with boroscope they are all rough.
I don't suppose you have a TE gauge? That can separate a non...
I have read his material but it is out of context. Its historically interesting but does not track with other factual data.
I don't say throw it out, but its contradictory to whats been...
Chuck in Denver unlike you works on these and has done 100s of barrels on a 1917 . He found NO Eddystone cracked and a number of W and R.
Now I will take the word of someone who does this...
Same question he asked on CMP.
My take, 25 yards and a Gnats leg on top of the sight will throw you off an inch.
Shoot it as 50 or 100 yards and see what it does and slide the sight...
Agreed. Striker removed, very gently try on a field reject.
In almost all cases it will almost close 100% but a slight bit of resistance.
Safety has nothing to do with it.
Oh god, not the feeler gauges. then comes transfers and standards. Arrrgghhhhhhhh, doomed, doomed.
Well when your minds thoughts resemble a pretzel then you of course are going to be confused as you cross over your previous thought and you never know which way its going to turn.
Just to...
I simply put a fact down, grinding the lugs does increase head space
Its a really bad thing to do as it allow movement on the bolt and that is a bad thing.
As noted, fire the round, ...
It common to have a 3 month offset on receiver dates vs barrel datres.
7 months makes it likely a replaced barrel.
Actually 3 different stamps on the 1917 barrels, HS, JA and Rock...
While grinding lugs does increasing head space.
Chewing the chamber deeper also does.
As the key element is the shoulder that the cartridge rests on if momentary when fired, if that goes...
No slipper function, just a metal tang off the actuating mechanism that was getting caught between the plates.
Pulled it out, cover back on, oil back in and never again, and the clutch...
I think what you have is a restriction device, but not what you would think.
It had something to do with manual or arms and cycling the bolt and without it, the bolt catches on the follower.
