M1917 Chamber cut/drilled?

[RC20]

The rifle is not a Browning. Technically Model of 1917 30 Caliber though I am good with P17, Eddystone, 1917 Enfield. M1917 covered all sorts of military stuff so has to be delineated as to what Model of 1917.

The notch cut was not a Danish done. While there were various mods and the most done by the Greenland Patrol, front sights were left as was at least the ones returned.

Denmark did make barrels and some had new Danish marked barrels.

Well, I guess even though we all read what he wrote we didn't care because we were more concerned with answering his question...instead of worrying about that. We all knew what he was talking about.

I answered the question a page earlier. The notch was Norwegian. Since the Norwegians gave M1917s to Denmark whereas Denmark previously has received M1917s directly from Canada as well, Denmark therefore had M1917s with and without notch. Those with a notch are former Norwegian rifles, those without made the way directly to Denmark.

The Sirius Sledge Patrol rifles have no connection to this notch, only that they could be based upon either with or without the notch.
