[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1928464, member: 12443"] Of the 3 versions of Enfield actions, Remington, Winchester, and the Eddystone, the Eddystone was known to be the weakest and less desirable to build from. First off in original issue state they cocked when closing the bolt which needs changing. My father had an Eddystone modified at Sedgley in Philly in the late 40s, chambered in 06. Never had any issues with it, but it isnt advisable to use them for the larger cartridges as they were known to have lug set back issues. On the other hand quite a few of the Rem and Win actions have been used for the larger cartridges. [/QUOTE]
