1917 Enfield rechambered to 577 T-Rex
I have a model 1917 Enfield rifle with a standard size action in 300 Win Mag and want to get it rechambered,rebarreled to 577 Tyrannoasaur.Where could I send my rifle to have this done?Of coarse I have thought of buying a new rifle but I thought this would be the cheaper route.Any info would really be appreciated because I am a moron.

Jax, most of your questions were answered over on the Gunsmiths' forum. To shorten; yes it can be done, it will be very expensive, and I'm not sure about the 'smith who would (notice would, not could) do it. FWIW - Dan

It will be more expensive to build one from scratch than to buy a used A-Square rifle. They go for about $3K now and then.

But the real problem is that no one makes brass for this cartridge.

Dieter Horneber located in Furth Germany makes brass for the T.Rex. It will take you a while to receive it since Dieter is a one man operation.

I thought Quality cartridge was going to start making this brass? Along with the rest of the A-square line. - Dan

I pinged Quality Cart. about the A-Square cases about a month ago. The reply stated they were still waiting for the basic brass.

I have a feeling A-Square will be back in business first. One positive sign of this was that a recent note on the MidwayUSA website stated that they will soon be carrying A-Square components.
