Mint M1917

[rayg]

Some must have not been used as I have a Remington 1917 serial # 213043, bbl dated 3-18. About mint and untouched condition with about 99% original blue/black finish still remaining with only the bbl bands and trigger guard starting to turn a plumb brown in color. The rifle is unfired except for proofing and with only minor handling blemishes on the stock. There is still cosmoline in the chamber and under the wood. All the correct mfg and inspector stampings are present on the wood and metal and are deep and sharp. Two of the eagle proof marks are stamped with the same inspector’s number, one on the stock and one on the back of the receiver. The rifle is in all correct, untouched, and all original condition as manufactured and shipped from the Remington factory. It's complete with a 1918 dated leather sling which appears to be the one issued with the rifle. I had another one just like it that I had sold when I needed money for another purchase, Ray
