I've got this Eddystone M1917 30-06 that was my father-in-law's. He's passed away, and I want to keep this rifle. It is a very nice shooting rifle, but it is looking a little ragged these days. The stock is very chewed up from years of deer hunting.
Since it is a sporter, I'm guessing it doesn't really have any value as a collectible, so I want to re-blue it and put a nice new wood stock on it.
Here's my question: Am I looking for a stock to fit an "Enfield Long Action"? I see ads for Enfield "long action" and "short action" So, I'm guessing "Short action" is the .303, while "long action" is the 30-06. Is that right?
