Question I need screws for an old gun. On the barrel it says Eddystone 1223654. I do not know enough about it to seek help. Thanks. It is a bolt action rifle and has a curvy stock.
Answer You probably have a 1917 Enfield, in .30/06 made by Eddystone Arsenal in Pennsylvania. Parts are avaiable at local gun shows, or through Sarco and also Gun Parts (Gun Parts has a website and is out of NY). They have an exploded diagram of the gun so you can look and ppick out the needed screws.
