    M-1917 OGEK unboxed question

    I know it's Ed Klouser. What I can't find is when it was inspected. I can't find any info on when he was there or when it was inspected.

    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.

    Ogden Arsenal had two rebuild stamps: Elmer Keith had the rectangle box O G E K and Ed Klouser just had the O G E K stamp. I really doubt Ogden did any
    pre WW2 rebuilds on the Model 1917 rifle, so it would be safe to assume that both inspectors worked at Ogden during the WW2 years and maybe a short period
    after the war

    Thanks RCS. I was trying to figure out if it was rebuilt during or after WWII. It's one of the last Remington's made. 6765xx DOB 1/19. Only the receiver and stock are Remington.
