An (e)nteresting Enfield 1917 in .30-06 Ackley Improved

12/19/2023

The guys took this beat up Enfield 1917 -- in the non-original caliber of .30-06 Ackley Improved -- and breathed new life into it!

Sterling polished off all the original metal finish and gave it a gorgeous reblue. He also polished the bolt handle, for a contrasting look. Woodsmith extraordinaire Ronnie sanded off the original finish and gave the stock a hand-rubbed oil finish. Finally, Chris installed a decelerator, a new set of swivels, and gave the rifle a final test fire. 💥

**The rifle's original caliber was .30-06 Springfield. While the chamber was lengthened to accommodate the Ackley load, the rifle can still shoot .30-06 Springfield loads!
