Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Does a Winchester m1917 count???

Well, I reshaped the stock a little bit to fit me instead of the original owner. I did away with the tacky roll over and lengthened the grip. Went to an easy to care for oil finish too. I also shortened the maple burl piece on the grip which was too long and tacky as well. Still needs a good Pachmayr decelerator. Rifle not perfect, but I think it's huntable now. Eventually it might get re-bored to a 9.3x62m:






I also free floated the barrel and re-glass bed the action. There was too much pressure on the barrel and noticed the poi shifted between range visits. Now since the barrel has been floated, that hasn't been an issue. Shoots to the same place now, which is how a good hunting rifle should act.
