Well guys don't I feel dumb, worked like a charm! Thanks for the help!

Guys I guess I'm an idiot, but I don't see any way of installing a Kerr sling on my 1917 as the ends of the sling with the clips will not fit and pass through the sling swivel loops on the frontend...

I have a Remington 6729XX, barrel date 4-18. Has the OGEK cartouche. I will have to check on the flaming bomb, don't recall seeing any. It seems Winchester did the better job with record keeping...

I received a correct 1918 SA Bayonet today from a forum member here, it looks like a great match with my rifle. Following up posting some additional pictures of the added bayonet and leather sling.

I bet the area isn't recognizable today compared to the way it looked 100 years ago, were any of the buildings saved?

Bill thanks, I will post pics next week after receiving it.

I'm working on the Winchester now. I've had some conversations with two Winchester owners today who have serial number traced back to...

I picked up this Remington M1917 about a year ago, came with the 1918 Remington Bayonet & WWII Type Scabbard. Looking at the "UNITED STATES RIFLE MODEL OF 1917" book by C.S. Ferris the serial...

Matching meaning, all "W" marked parts and or marked with the correct eagle head inspection marks, in other words no Remington or Eddystone parts in it. He spent 5 years working on this project.
...

The dealer has gone through it inspecting the part markings, he stands behind it. Comes with a 5 day inspection as well.

The stock has not been messed with, it's dark walnut with strong cartouches and the barrel does tie to the receiver serial number period. I plan to clean the stock with a mineral oil and linseed oil...

I have a fellow who has an all matching down to the extractor early model 1917 Winchester for an asking price of 1300.00. He claims when he originally purchased the rifle the bore and receiver were...

I've pulled the trigger on:

#2 An all matching Eddystone Ser# 4490XX with a 3-18 barrel which looks like a correct time frame for the production. Also has the RA-P AAZ cartouches for 650.00.
...

Thanks for the response, is there a source that you are referencing for the AAZ cartouche, if so can you share it?
Looking for information on the web for AAZ and just not finding anything on it. ...

#2 in addition to the RA-P also has an AAZ behind the RA-P. Does anyone have in formation on what the AAZ would represent?

#2 has been parked, the barrel seems to match. RA-P cartouche. These just came in, the dealer was planning to clean them up and get back to me with any other findings and hopefully some pictures.

General question, no pictures yet should have some tomorrow.

Dealer has the following:

1) In cosmoline and brown paper, nice blue finish, all Eddystone parts except 3-18 Remington barrel....

I have 3 -T14s and a T94 an no ammo as well :(

Great, I had purchased this off of Ebay and it was described as WWII (was more of a brownish color) but I suspected it was post WWII. I purchased this to go with my General Officer rig that was...

So based on the color of the visor in the pictures in the original post would you say WWII or Vietnam it is green.

Martin my thoughts as well, but the more I looked at it and the price tag of 595.00 with a perfect bore I could not let it slip away. I plan to take it to the range. Thanks for the comments.

Ray good advice, you know as a matter of fact I have a M1917 Remington with its original leather sling (may be a bit longer) I could switch out. I need to pull it from the safe and inspect its...

I looked back and I don't think I've ever posted on this piece which I picked up last year.

I picked this pistol up from a who purchased it at a gun show many years ago. After making the...

It seems finding an original leather M1907 that has not cracked or flaked badly is a chore, I was able to locate a couple of nice clean WWI canvas Kerr "No-Bucle" slings to pick from. I have located...

The sling came in yesterday, the rifle should be delivered this morning. Jim I'll be sure to post some complete pics, the bayonet will be the icing on the cake ;)

That would be considered a Black Army 1911, to speed up production Colt eliminated a finishing step. Most Black Army Colts finishes did not hold up well and would flake very badly with wear. Your...
