Dan, the M-1917's were carried by two members of the 75th Rangers, IIRC. One of the Rangers told me that his rifle was brand-new, still covered in Cosmoline and wrapped up like a mummy. Took him half the day to field strip and clean his weapon prior to placing it into service.
WOW, man I would love to get pics or other info about this, would be a very very interesting addition to the known history of this rifle.
Wonder if I can get ahold of any historical info from them, will give it a shot and see what I come up with.
Many thanks
Dan
