    I have been wondering if the 6300 members of the Alaska Territorial Guard were allowed to keep their Enfield Riflesicon at wars end, or if they had to turn them in. If they were allowed to keep them, 1917's should be as plentiful as fleas on a stray dog in Alaska. Over the decades I have lived in Alaska I have seen an occasional 1917 for sale at gun shows, in gun stores, and in classified ads but never an abundance of them. Where are these 6300 rifles?
    The Canadianicon Rangers (comparable to the ATG) were allowed to keep their issued Lee Enfield #4 rifles.
