Aquired a Model 1917 30-06, looks like issued yesterday, made by Winchester in 1918. Barrel is frosty and dark, shoots pretty well, though.
This one is a keeper and I want it to be a real shooter, the only barrel I seem to locate is at Gun Parts (Numrich) which has to have machining for the extractor cut and front sight. I would like to locate a new barrel that my gunsmith can headspace and install that doesn't need additional machining other than what might be needed to headspace.
Even a bright and shiny good used barrel? Thanks, podnuhs if you can help?
