My First M1917

[Prince Humperdink]

I finally got My Salvage grade 1917 from CMP on the 5th. The whole rifle was complete, and way more than I expected.My Sn is1090955, and has an 8/18 eddystone barrel.Rem bolt, and stock(i believe),win floorplate, and front band.everything else eddystone.Rifling is very tall, and distinct,but is "frosted", and was buried under what seemed like endless blank residue.stock and metal wer all varnished,but cleaned up nicely,eagles and OGEK cartouche all sharp!
