Since you are loaded with facts and you probably know a Hair more than i do, im not going to try to prove you wrong, but ask you something about the gun. My model M1917 says "Model CF1917" Was it true (and if so why) that certain models were sent back to the factory to be re-built/refurbished? And what is the difference in the proofings CF Vs. OF. Thanks Comrade

PS, Im not Russianicon. Also Im sure if the Eddystone gunsmiths were flower pickers before they made these rifles they might be built with a little more care. Hnn.. i wonder. Also, how was Eddystone Associated with Remington?
