M1917 rifles with 8X Unertl scope in Service rifle SSR list

[cplstevennorton]

The Marines got rid of the M1917's by 1920. So there were never any USMC Unertl scopes on the M1917's.

Really there were not any A5's on the M1917's for the military either. I remember a couple for testing, but there were never more than a handful. The A5 scope was technically considered obsolete before the WWI even started. WRA was promising them a new Model of 1918 Scope based on a German Design for WWI, and used A5's as a temporary placeholder until those could be completed. The Model of 1918 scope just never made it in time past the testing phase to be used in the war.
