Seen this today while Antique hunting. It weight every bit of 75 pounds or more. They cast it with a rifle missing the rear guard for some odd reason. Rick B

Possibly cast as part of a Memorial, nearly every country town in Australia has a Marble digger holding mainly marble 303 but some a bronze rifle
Agreed, I'd suspect this came from a monument somewhere. An excellent example would be Missoula Montana, a memorial to WW1. The soldier is perfect in his doughboy appearance, right down to the details. He's carrying a 1903 at the full trail while overhand throwing a grenade...must be seen to be appreciated. Anywayzzz, I suspect this is something the same.

something you dont see every day.... dayum that price you can get a real 17
So the question is, which WWI memorial was this stolen from? It certainly looks like it's been weathering a good long time and WWI memorials are not frequently scrapped in the USA are they?
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
Much changes, much remains the same.
