Winchester 1917

**highpower3006** · 01-10-2012 08:38 PM

Here are a couple of pictures of a Winchester 1917 I've had for a while. It bears the Ogden Arsenal/ Elmer Keith cartouche and is a typical mixmaster. I does have the original barrel with excellent rifling and 'W' marked bolt with most of the other parts marked 'E'. Shown with an original Remington bayonet and scabbard. Also has an incorrect, but very nice WW2 model 1907 sling.

While it has a few handling marks, I believe it to be unfired since it left the arsenal

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

What's incorrect about the sling?

I should have clarified my statement. The original slings for M1917 rifles were the Kerr slings. I do think that the M1907 is more appropriate for a WW2 rebuild.

Ogden was a check and rebuild for many small arms,.Elmer Kieth was there during some time, and this rifle bares his inspection stamp..
