Hey all Newb Here,
I was given an unstocked m1917 i would like to turn into a project. I am thinking about converting it from .30-06 to another .30 caliber rifle, using the current barrel. I have heard that .300 h&h is a common conversion, but i dont have a lathe to open up the bolt face. Not sure how I could do it by hand.
My only experience in smithing is accurizing revolvers... so i know i have a lot to learn and am a long way from the work.
I am hoping someone around has some experience rechambering m1917's who could give me some insight.
