Remington M1917 Enfield Rifle. 30-06. New And Unfired After MILTECH Rebuild. PM Collection
Description: Remington M1917 Enfield Rifle. 30-06. New And Unfired After MILTECH Rebuild AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE PURCHASE AT OUR ONLINE STORE The design of the M1917 'With Great Britain’s P14 rifle order filled, three large rifle plants in the US were sitting idle while the P14 rifle design, chambered for the standard British .303 cartridge, needed minimal conversion to fire the US .30-06 rounds. With a modified bolt, magazine and chamber specifications, and updated markings the Enfield-designed P14 became the Remington-designed M1917. Distinctive ‘ears’ of metal on each side of the peep-aperture protect the 1917’s rear sights. This type of sight became so popular with the Army that all future infantry longarms, the M1 Garand, M1 carbine, and M1903A3 Springfield, all carried their own versions of them. The rifle was over a pound heavier than the Springfield and used an extremely long bayonet that was more of a short sword, neither of which made it popular with the doughboys. Overall, the barrel was 26-inches long, which was longer than the Springfield. The weapon, with its machete-length bayonet and sling weighed in at over 11-pounds. By the end of WWI in 1918, three out of every four US soldiers carried a M1917 rifle. One of the most famous users was later Sergeant Alvin York who, using his trusty and accurate Remington rifle, shot 28 and captured another 132 German soldiers almost single-handedly. It was the weapon that finally crushed the Kaiser.' Chris Eger 10/24/12 SPECIFICATIONS
