Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Gunsmithing the 1917 Enfield

I have an US Model of 1917 Winchester action that I am working on . I have opened out the rails to suit the 416 Rigby Cartridge. As I live in Australia there is difficulty in obtaining the necessary parts I have a Dakota 3 Pos Mod 70 safety on my 98 DWM mauser in 30/06 and I like it. hard to get much for the M17 as we call them in Aust. Can anyone confirm if the model 70 Bolt sleeve with the square threads will screw into a M17 Enfield bolt. To order anything from the US we have had to pay a 250 licence fee to the US State department. can you confirm if this law still exists . I understand that it was being wound back some

Thank you,
