Newbie Here with M1917 Sporter Question

[Charlie Xray]

I have heard the term "Straightened Floor Plate". I assume it has something to do with the bottom of the magazine well? What does this involve and why was it done?

Thanks.

This 1917 has a straightened floor plate. It removes the guppy-like belly of the military version and gives it smoother lines.

I see now what you mean.

That is one nice rifle too.

Thanks. It is my favorite deer rifle. Hunted with it in Alaska for caribou and several southern states for whitetail.
