Something I've never quite understood is that is was known that the M1917 was a very accurate rifle. The military tried making the 1903 into a sniper rifle with mixed results; the scope sat too high etc. The 1917 OTOH has a bent bolt already, it seems it would have been easy to take off the iron sights and put on a scope....did they try it or did it get past them?

I have a spsorterized M1917 Eddystone that is extremely accurate..
