WORLD WAR I Era U.S. EDDYSTONE M1917 .30-06 Bolt Action C&R MILITARY Rifle
1918 FLAMING BOMB .30.06 Caliber WWI Rifle w/SLING
Description: WORLD WAR I Era U.S. EDDYSTONE M1917 .30-06 Bolt Action C&R MILITARY Rifle 1918 FLAMING BOMB .30.06 Caliber WWI Rifle w/SLING Here we present a C&R U.S. Eddystone Model 1917 Bolt Action Rifle, made in 1918 in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. The Eddystone Model 1917 was an adaptation of Britain’s Enfield Pattern 1914 that both Remington, Eddystone (a subsidiary of Remington), and Winchester were producing during the Great War. This was prior to direct American intervention, which occurred in April of 1917, in the worldwide conflict. When the U.S. entered the war, they too needed all the small arms production they could muster for the war effort. Rather than retooling these factories to produce the American Model 1903, the U.S. Ordnance Department simply elected to adapt the Enfield Pattern 1914 to American specifications, primarily chambering the rifle for .30-06 Springfield, creating the U.S. Model 1917. These went to arm the American Expeditionary Force in Europe during WWI. The top of the barrel is marked “U.S./MODEL OF 1917/EDDYSTONE”. Eddystone made a total of 1,181,908 rifles. This was more than the production of Remington (545,541 rifles) and Winchester (465,980 rifles) combined. The overall condition is good. This rifle has been arsenal/factory refurbished. Bright bore with deep rifling. The stock shows expected wear with a chip missing beside the receiver tang. Robust action. Very good leather sling. Legible markings. Own the original!
