viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19368 Well I went and shot my new to me 1917 Enfield 300 H&H and it was splitting the case right above the belt. Took it to my local gunsmith and he said the headspace was off and it was not safe to shoot. The gunsmith said he was not interested in trying to get the barrel off. It has the military barrel on it the been re cambered. I really like the rifle and would like to fix it with out spending a arm and leg. The guy I bought it from would have to make payments to me to give me my money back.Thank for any advise.
