  1. Yes, the 1917 action can be used for conversion to the larger diameter or belted magnum rounds. It's just that the 1914 action usually requires a little less work to make it feed correctly since it was designed to feed the rimmed 303 British round instead of the rimless 3006 round. A proper conversion of either of these actions into a nice sporter requires a good deal of skill. Just removing the old barrel can be quite an experience, then you still have to deal with the rear sight ears, contouring the receiver, removing the dog leg from the trigger guard, etc. Lots of opportunites to run into real trouble and ruin the action, but if properly done by a smith who knows his business, you'll have a fine rifle. Shoot well.
