US 1917 pressure test rifle, US military flaming bomb proofed

Description:
We have a former military pressure test rifle that has been plugged and flaming bomb stamped. This rifle is not safe for ball ammunition as there is incomplete filling of the pressure test hole which will result in a "dimple" in the case body. This will result in a "stuck" case in the chamber that may need to be pushed out with a cleaning rod. Blank cartridges may be fired without incident, however. I have a HS (Hi Std) marked Enfield barrel, pictured in the ad, 26" in length which may be purchased for an additional $350. This barrel is milled for the military Enfield front sight- flaming bomb marked, and undated. It's a 4 groove barrel, bore appears as new, outside is shopworn.   Note: the letter of the NRA DopeBag "tm" is dated May of 2002-  Note- shooting lead gas check bullets in the 17-1800 fps range works well and brass appears perfectly normal- 22gr of 5744 does 1700 with a 180gr gc bullet and shoots very well with a sd of only 12 fps (3 shots)
