Gun

You men (?) have been mighty helpful. Thank you for that! Going with a 303 Epps for the Remington and a super secret cartridge I am calling the 8MM Goofball Magnum for the Winchester.

Yep! I kinda figured as much.

Howdy Dr. Hess! Thank you for the welcome. No I am talking about the Pattern 14 made by Remington, Eddystone and Winchester for the English for World War One and later used in World War Two. It is the 303 British and earlier version of the U.S. M1917 .30-06 (U.S. Enfield). I have a Winchester and Remington model and I have pulled the barrels of off both. The welds look to only have just barely penetrated the barrels.

Howdy Folks! With the barrels being slugged/welded through the chamber right in front of the receiver ring how can a person know if it is safe to use the actions for building a new rifle? The heat on the ring is my main, only actually, concern. Thanks!
