My father n' law has an Enfield 1917 in 30-06. (I've sort of confescated it so it doesn't get lost) Function looks good. Nothing special about that trigger. Drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Barrel bluing is almost gone, but there's no pitting or rust. The stock is a sporterized piece of what looks to be European Walnut with cheek piece on the right, sort of like a left handed stock on a right handed rifle. Rifling looks good, but I haven't shot this to know if it's as accurate as my 03-A3.
I've taken my eldest son to task to hand sand the stock so we can re-finish it together. (Good 'out of school/summer project for him)
I'd like to make it, 'nicer', without pouring a bunch of money into it, and offer it to one of the grand kids. Not my boys, as it's not something for them.. They like the .243 and my 30-30's right now. But I don't want to put more work into it than it's worth.
So, what's it worth? I could coat the barrel and receiver with some home kit I suppose. I'll bet there's a Timney trigger available...
