[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 2991911, member: 6064"] Well, the 1917 is much easier to be found in original condition, as it was never a big return to ordnance to be refurbished rifle. There was a small batch from Eddystone that did indeed crack, but the number was very small and is blown way out of proportion by Urban legend. If it is still around in shooting condition, chances are almost 100% it's a good one. They are great rifles and in most cases very accurate.....and HEAVY. The action is one of the strongest bolt types ever and many were turned into dangerous game rifles by Howe and a few others in Big cartridges like 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffries etc. I'm not sure about the trade deal as what you have shoots good! And most 1917 collector types go for American stuff, but if you really want one they are great rifles. It is after all what Sgt. York used!!! [/QUOTE]
