Beware of scammers.

So, anyone shooting cast in these? Mine has (what I suspect is a WW II era; it is undated) HS barrel. Also has the "P" stamped on the bbl.

Someone said that the 1917's were barreled using the same tooling as the P14, and that they run large (.311 or so). Never heard that.

Eddystone Model 1917 30-06

Before I ask any questiones, etc., does this one qualify as a Remington?!?

In AL as well. N Hsv. Where are you, CG?

Are your cast bullets ~15 bhn? If so/regardless - I would recommend something cast in 20:1 or 30:1 or 40:1, or even pure lead. The softer, the more it should obturate to fill the bore. I am thinking that is the problem. I was pretty sure it was with mine.

IF it is somewhere in the .446 size, might ...

MY oh MY OH MY! That is BEE-U-T-ful! And I am jealous! Love the caliber too!

The .442 sizing is based off literature - not an actual barrel/grooves/slugged. We have new Remington primed cases and I have a .442 factory sizing dies. Lit says 44-90 Remington Special Necked with .442 bullet. Never thought about it being a paper patch! Could be... Regardless, would be a gun(s) we ...

44-90 Remington Special Necked

So... the 44-90 Remington Special Necked takes a .442 sized bullet, and I just happen to have a .442 H&I sizing die. Buddy has 200 new (old stock) primed 44-90 Remington Special Necked cases. We have molds that will work as well.

This caliber was made on a Rolling ...

my first Argentine 43 Spanish RB was much like yours sounds like. my research says they scrubbed them in the '50s to remove all the scales etc before putting them on the milsurp market. My first was well scrubbed/polished/ground down/edges rounded (I didn't know any better at the time...). AND the ...

Following this one. Have another new to me (now only one) 43 Spanish I need to work up something for.

Is the Rcvr just well worn? And is that a Navy Seal Trident on the stock?

Looking at a Remington Model 8 marked 25-35 Remington on the barrel. Found a single net post delineating 25-35 Remington cartridge as Experimental (http://www.armorypublications.com/2001/4-01.htm - single UMC case headstamped...) vs a 'standard' 25 Remington.

I am seeing that maybe early 8 bbl's ...

as you well know, I would not even consider one unless it has been drifted under your nose!

only ever seen one (after I even knew what they were...) for sale - GB. Was complete (iirc) but way out of my budget. VERY cool rifles/Good Luck!

Unusable?!?!? That is a $h!!ty paper weight that needs REALLY cleaned up - at BEST!

FWIW - guy on another forum I am on bought a 14/141/can't determine. I recommended he post here and this guy "Jim" would eventually show up and weigh in! Lol! Be nice (as you can - lol!)

FYI. If you haven't looked in awhile... IMR 4320 is now discontinued. Hopefully you have enough.
