Production dates

Well I can give you the exact date for Winchesters but only an approximate month/year for Remington Eddystone.

Winchester was the only one that maintained the serial number logs once the contract was completed.

Here are the ones I have, Eddystone 636499, with an E 2-18 barrel, Eddystone 217271 with an E 9-18 barrel, Eddystone 830880 with a Winchester 3-19 barrel. Thanks,

[Dan Wilson]

Well the Eddystone 636499 will have been built in approximately 9-18 so that barrel isn't original, Barrel date is too early.
Eddystone 830880 was made in approximately 8-18

The best source to find the dates is C.S Ferris's book "United States Rifle Model of 1917.

How about a Winchester... 100628?
It has a 12-17 Winchester barrel.

Thanks

Winchester 100628 was born on 14 Dec 1917, sounds like it has the correct barrel as well - congrats
