As Issued Model of 1917

[martin08]

Always nice to see what an M1917 looked like off the production line.

This Eddystone has the late production dark matte parkerized finish, with a 10-18 barrel, and all correct E-marked parts. Cartouches are sharp. Internals still a bit greasy. A few freckles in the metal finish, and age darkening of the wood. But overall, just a nice U.S. rifle.

A bonus came with the purchase: Remington 1917 bayonet and scabbard in very decent condition. I really should find a sling!

Lots of pics. Enjoy, and thanks for looking.
