Having no idea what the shank diameter of a #1 barrel is, I thought I would ask. Is there enough substance to it for re-threading to P-14 / P-17 specs?

If the answer is yes, who has a 416 barrel or can point me to one?

Thanks,
Todd

I doubt it. I think the P14-17's are the ones with the larger thread dia.

If you have the action there without the barrel measure the inside dia of the Enfields threads.

The minor dia of a Ruger #1 barrel is .923"

Sorry Todd---

The Pi17 has to have a special sized barrel...... 1.325 at the chamber section and 1.125 thread O.D..

...not to mention the threads are also square.

Todd the threads on the Ruger # 1 is 1"x16 tpi. Too small for what you want to do.

So Todd, what they are saying is you should let me have that action.

Bluetick you'd probably like this action, it's already had all the work done except massaging the feed rails for big cartridges.

Thanks all for the replies. I was thinking 416 Rigby, and hoping to save a few $$ by using someone's take-off, but it appears the only takeoff that would work is from another enfield.
