My all time killinest deadliest rifle is a 1917, very similar as in same basic action, re done to my wildcat 340 Tyrannosaur.
Yes, you did just fine IMO. The trigger and speedlock + cock on opening kit for my 1917 came from the Dayton Traister company, and to my pleasant surprise they are still in business making these upgrades. Last time I check, a few weeks ago, they were selling thier trigger, speedlock, cock on opening combo kit for $89.95. My DT system has been on my rifle since 1974, three barrels and two stocks ago.
These rifle, IMO, are too big and heavy as thier original chamberings but make terrific big cartridge dangerous game rifles.
I would re do that stock back in Walnut, and put a good soft recoil pad on it. Could be a spectacular rifle when all done up.
