[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2108034, member: 24284"] Are the front scope mount screws too long and hitting the barrel tenon? There is no other milsup receiver that requires more work to 'sporterize' than a 1917 or P14. On [I][B]any[/B][/I] M1917 or P14 that I am going to remove the barrel from, I will make a 'relief' cut at the barrel/receiver junction [I][B]regardless of manufacturer[/B][/I]. Any of 'um can be 'cracked' when attempting to remove the barrel. Any cartridge based on the 06 will feed without much problem. [/QUOTE]
