This first day of production Remington bolt action rifle bears serial number 137. The British government armory at Enfield Lock, Middlesex, was founded in 1804. Dec 27, 2010 - I picked up a Remington 1917 in 30-06 about a year ago, it was cheap, seemed like. It has all the markings from the 1917 info I can find, fireball thing, serial number means it was built. Model 30 Bolt Action Centerfire Rifle.

Well, Folks I got me one!My 1917 Enfield arrived fromt he CMP, and she is a bute! The serial number is 925,000 range and the metal is in excellent shape! The wood has the character dings and scratches, but she is a bute.If I didn't already say that. I have a question though, I am a learning person in this area.The make of this rifle is 'Eddystone' U.S.

Does anyone have any knowledge on the make of this weapon??? I am just about complete in a series of US battle rifles, I have the S/A M-1a and H&R Garand as well as the S/A O3 and the Smith and Corona O3A3, I also have the (inland) M-1 Carbine and a RRA LAR15. Now I just need to find a Thompson. Welcome to the forum WPD80. I know very little about the 1917 but here it comes anyway The 1917 is America's retooling of the pattern 14 Enfield that were to be sold to England before things got real ugly for the Brits in that era. The US redesigned it so it would run with 3006 ammo and used it I think due to a need of rifles for our troops.

Eddystone was a arsenal that I think was run with the help of Remington in the state of New York. I may be wrong on that but thats what I'm digging out of memory (old) You may someday run across the same model made by Remington or Winchester as well.

Once upon a time I had a P-14 rifle and with cast bullets it shot very well, ball ammo wasn't so great because of bore dimensions. Jack is right - Eddystone was affiliated with Remington and was one of three manufacturers - Winchester and Remington being the other two. About 1.2 million Eddystone M1917s were made and roughtly the same amount were made totally by the other two. Approximately 3/4 of US soldiers in WWI carried the M1917. It was put in war reserve after the war and hundreds of thousands were sold or Lend Leased to England and China.

Large numbers were sold to the Philippine Army and they used it in the early days of WWII. Many also saw use as training rifles by the US and a few were taken overseas, mostly by service units.

When the United States entered WW1 they had a shortage of rifles. US production facilities were already set up to manufacture the British pattern 1914 rifle so they were retooled to make rifles that fired the US 30.06 cartridge. These went into service known as the “Model 1917 US Magazine Rifle” or more commonly, the “Model 1917 Enfield”. Winchester and Remington manufactured nearly 2,200,000 Model 1917 rifles.

This particular rifle was made by Remington at their Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant. The rifle is about 46 ¼” long overall with a 26” long barrel. The barrel is stamped near the muzzle, “E / [flaming bomb] / 8-18”. Bore is semi-bright with good rifling. Two barrel bands; one with “stacking” swivel and one with shoulder sling swivel and bayonet lug. Receiver features a 6 round integral magazine. Breech is marked U.S.

/ MODEL OF 1917 / EDDYSTONE over serial number 925693. Rear sight has sliding peep aperture and is mounted on the back section of the breech. Front blade sight features distinctive protective “ears” on each side. Iron parts are finished matte-blue and most have small “E” sub-inspector stamps.

Mechanically perfect. Walnut stock and “hand guards” are all in very good condition with no cracks.

Original, rich color and finish. Stamped “RA-P” on left flat between trigger and breech. Lower sling swivel attached near butt plate. Number “18” stamped in stock behind swivel. This is a beautiful 1917 “Enfield” for any WW1 collection.
