Hi.

While checking out a very nice condition 1903a3 I ended up buying a winchester 1917 that was in a similarly nice condition. The serial number is in the 191,XXX range. I know nothing about 1917s, so would appreciate any info you might have on my new toy.

Overall it looks fantastic:



The barrel is marked with a "W", a flaming bomb, and 3-18


Lots of nice stamps on the stock


The model stamp on the receiver is extremely crisp and overall the bluing looks to be in great condition.




I'll probably put it away as a safe queen. I'd appreciate any info you could tell me about this gun. Be happy to take more detailed pictures if it would help.

Thanks for your help!

I also bought a 1903a3 in similar condition and have posted an inquiry thread over in the 1903 forums. Take a look if you can help me with that one as well!
