      Always remember your 1st - Springfield that is.

      That's a nice score. Have two myself. I'd take a chipped stock butt over water damage any day.

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      I definitely hear yours and tallen702's points. In a lot of ways I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder on these things. My initial goal when I bought two rifles was to bring both back to their true form. For the first, I was hoping to restore in a way that preserves the authenticity...

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      Thanks for the insight - giving both a try makes a lot of sense. As for the remaining stock, your point is well taken. Never know when I'll come across a deal on another Enfield that would make a good candidate for restoration. I've certainly seen more sporterized enfields, then whole stocks...

      I also still need to find a matching front handguard for stock 'A'

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      Thanks - was thinking I was probably due to go to a show, given I haven't been in awhile. Also, may bring stock 'B' with me to see if I can sell it (i'd rather pic up a reproduction stock for my second project then touch that one, especially since it's a complete set).

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      Thanks for the suggestion, will give this a try! I'll also be sure to post pics once the project is finished.

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      Thanks - I agree the would grain is great on 'A'. Do you happen to know of a safe way to 'clean up' the wood without damaging or ruining the original finish?

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      I purchased the sporterized rifle for about $350 on gunbroker (ended up being a great deal). I've seen untouched Remingtons go for anywhere between $1000-$1500. I imagine one with a refinished stock would be somewhere inbetween but your point is well taken. I actually have a second 1917...

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      Thanks - that's where I was leaning to begin with but I am by no means an expert so I thought I'd ask.

      Advice on 1917 Remington Restoration

      I'm currently in the process or restoring a 1917 Remington Enfield and was hoping for some advice from the community. Apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum, C&R seemed like the best fit. A few years back I picked up a sporterized 1917 Remington. There was no alterations done to the...

      Gettysburg, PA; Jan 29-30, 2022

      Funny you should mention it as I did just that with the one vendor that seemed to have parts. In contact with Petronio Firearms about what I'm looking for. He's going to see what he has on hand. Fingers crossed that I get lucky. Was mainly commenting on the fact that there seem to be less...

      Gettysburg, PA; Jan 29-30, 2022

      That's a fair point. Still, who am I kidding really? You all could tell me there isn't a chance in hell that I find what I'm looking for and I'd still probably go. Thanks.

      Gettysburg, PA; Jan 29-30, 2022

      I ended up making the drive and share the disappointment that others have mentioned. Was on the hunt for some mil-surplus parts but they were non-existent.. I spoke with one of the vendors who told me that its not worth spending the money for extra tables for them. I get that I guess, just...

      GunBroker Question

      I've purchased quite a few times on GB with some good luck. Some sellers will take online payment (should be listed in listing), which makes it easy enough. Others, unfortunately you need to mail a check. My most recent purchase was for a 1917 Enfield stock. I purchased because the ad...

      Thanks - will likely cross my fingers and give it a go.

      Gettysburg, PA; Jan 29-30, 2022

      Can anyone advise on whether the Gettysburg show typically has a good turnout of tables with Mil surplus rifles and parts? Considering making the trek from MD, for a couple projects in flight. Cheers

      Did you happen to notice any 30-06? Never seem to see it on shelves anywhere.

      Question by '' on classified ad 'EVGA RTX 3060 (Slightly Used)'

      Nice. Assuming you upgraded to something better? Would've totally bought this if I hadn't just won a 3080 on Newegg shuffle two weeks back.
