Got this Winchester M1917 hand picked from the South Store in Anniston, Alabama last week. I've got a couple DCM and CMP M1's, but I always wanted one of the M1917's.
They had about a dozen to choose from, only about 2 Winchester's, 2 Remington and the rest Eddystone. About 15 or so M1903 and 03A3 rifles as well. Unfortunately, you are only permitted one bolt-action rifle a year.
This was the nicest looking one in the rack. Service grade with a 1.5 Muzzle and a 2 Throat measurement. Covered in grease. Bore is surprisingly nice with some very light frosting. Mix of Eddystone and Winchester parts with a couple Remington pieces mixed in.
Appears to be a WW2 refurb that didn't see much use. Still retains its original 10-18 dated barrel and the finish is very good.
It should make for a nice shooter if/when I decide to take it out.
