Looking to pick something up for a later project. I've got a P-17 in 458 Lott so maybe a 416 Rigby, 505 Gibbs or 500 Jefferys. Would one of these actions do?? Which mfg would be best?

Did I miss the price?

My mistake, it's there now, $200

Yes that is a good price. Especialy if you can get a Remington.

in the last 2 yrs, i've picked up 3 eddystone enfield p-17's for $140- $180... 1 was drilled/tapped in the rem 30 pattern, 1 is unaltered, another cobbled up... for the machine work already done on the 1 you're looking at, i'd say it is a good deal....

What sort of cost is involved in sporterizing a Pattern 14?
I've got an Eddystone that would be nice as something big.

Unaltered actions can be had for around $75, but with all that work done to them $200 is a bargain.
