Looking for the size of the action threads on the Model 1917 Enfields. Are they all the same with the different makers, Eddystone, Winchester, and Remington?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Steven Dzupin</div><div class="ubbcode-body">According to Frank deHaas' great book, Bolt Action Rifles, the major diameter is 1.125", the minor diameter is 1.085", and the length of the tenon is .800". The thread pitch is 10 TPI and the thread form is Square, this works out to .050" wide. . The breech cone angle is 45 degrees and the extractor slot is .410" wide.

And I might add that their all a bit different.

Best to measure the existing barrel tenon for best fit.
