When the United States entered WW1 they had a shortage of rifles. Production facilities were already set up to manufacture the British pattern 1914 rifle. It was redesigned to accept the 30.06 cartridge and was pressed into service as the Model 1917. Remington, Winchester and Eddystone manufactured 2,200,000 Model 1917’s.

Barrel is marked with the bomb and the date 3-19. Walnut stock is in good condition with no cracks. Bore is semi-bright.
