[QUOTE="Land Rover, post: 1233019, member: 45043"] During WW1 the USA made P14 Enfield pattern 1914 rifles for Brittian. Then the USA came into the war and as they already had three tooling plants for the P14, it was easier to change them to 30 06 and called them the M17 Model 1917, but it is more commonly called the P17 (here in New Zealand anyway). They are very strong actions and great for Custom Magnum builds. My local gunsmith has a very accurate P14 300Win mag. From what I understand more USA troops had M17 rifles than Springfields in WW1 (and WW2?) So because my P17 was already 30 06, it was easy to add a new .257 barrel and re-chamber to 25 06. Bolt and magazine didn't require any changes. [/QUOTE]
