Hi All,
I was at a gun show today, and saw a 1917 Enfield that had a very good bore. The lands and grooves look sharp and crisp right up to where they join the leade. The bore looks a bit dark, but looks like it has hardly been shot.
The stock wasn't great, but the price was reasonable, I thought, as the guy was asking about $450, and I think would take $425. The rifle, overall, looked pretty good. Not excellent, but good. Eddistone action, Winchester barrel I think.
The question is how well do 1917s shoot cast bullets. Is the price reasonable? The seller seems like a good guy, and would answer any questions that I have, I think.
I didn't see an easy way to adjust for windage on the receiver sight. Does it have any, and does it adjust easily?
I really want an 03A3, but the Enfield was tempting.
Thanks and regards,
Gandolf
