Default RE: Re-Chambering a rifle ??

M1917 Enfield, one of the guesses originally. The dogleg bolt and the rocker safety are unmistakable. The action also cocks on the closing stroke, unlike the M98 mauser and the 1903, which cock when the bolt is opened.
M1917s are hell-for-stout actions, many have been converted in the past to magnum calibers with no problem.
