[QUOTE="Ward Thurman, post: 2271701, member: 109209"] Minor correction: 100 year old rifle. We looked up the serial number - built in 1920. With the blow up image, can you see any goofiness on the end of the barrel where it was cut? I already did a ton of work on this gun - new trigger, ground off the floor plate so it can be closed empty without sticking your thumb in front of the bolt, re-blued, scope mounts, etc. We only have about $270 cash into the gun now (lots of time though). I am struggling with it being worth a $500 barrel. It has a high quality stock and looks great now. We have another 1917 Enfield (Eddystone) that, while not sub-moa, it is a darn good shooter - 1" groups are common. I guess lightning doesn't strike twice. [/QUOTE]
