Dago RedSource of parts?
What are some good source of parts for military guns? I hear all the time about Blackburn bottoms, but can't seem to find them online at Brownells. specifically right now I am looking for:
1917 win. extractor, floorplate and triggerguard, think I can find these on gunbroker just wondering what other places I could look
also I need a floorplate for a 1903 springfield, prefereably not an aluminum one. I know that if I go for a hinged floorplate I can send the actions (mauser at least) and Wisner will do a changover for a few hundred, right now though I am just looking to replace some rather beaten up parts on my existing rifles.
thanks all.

systeme98Red, Don't have any Extractors, but you can Hot mail me aboutBoxes,Followers,plates,Guard frames and ,safetey levers for the M 17, Mostly Rem. You might also check the Extractor collar for butchery against your other '17s.

Dago RedThank you, I will try to write tonight. There is another piece that I want to replace but don't know what it is called. Where the cocking piece is, on the bolt behind the handle, there is a ring, it is a bit chewed up. Don't know what that is called so I will try to get a picture off the 17 I have at home. I figure I will replace the extractor collar as well. Anything that looks like it needs it.
I have an old book on rifles somewhere around the house, I will see if it has any diagrams labeling the different parts of an action so I know how to describe things.
