I have a complete 1917 barreled action. I will be doing some serious scrubbing and inspection and will function check then bolt this girl in the bench and test fire a string of shots before I spend any more on her…. It’s been a while since I built a vintage bolt gun. Anyone have parts laying around for this ole girl should I decide to go full steam ahead with it?

No parts, but well wishing and lots of admiration.
The usual places like SARCO and Numrich may have run dry, I haven't looked in a long while.
The folks on eBay can be sharks.
Good luck.
 
WoooHooo, scrubbed her out and the bore has a dang near mirror finish!!! Got the safety plunger, spring and safety lever from numrich along with sear pin for under $30 shipped. I’m now trying to find a half way decent piece of wood for her. I will update as I go. I believe she will be a shooter after all!
