I picked up this M1917 Eddystone a while back. It is all Eddystone except the rear handguard is stamped R underneath and the front handguard is not marked. I think I counted over 30 E or EN stamps if I remember right. I changed to E bolt out with a NOS USMC bolt. The E bolt closed on NOGO guage but passed field guage. The USMC bolt passes the NOGO guage. The cocking piece and firing pin are marked EN. I always liked 1903's but to tell the truth this is becoming one of my favorites. The target is an NRA-SR-1 5 shot group from 100 yards on a bench with a front sandbag. My best with this rifle was at a Milsurp shoot last fall with 5 10 ring-3X. I shoot PPU 150 FMJ (M1icon Garand) bullets.
