ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS WWI EDDYSTONE Model 1917 .30-06 C&R “RCE 3 FC” June 1918 Dated Infantry Rifle that Went to Canada!
Description: ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS WWI EDDYSTONE Model 1917 .30-06 C&R “RCE 3 FC” June 1918 Dated Infantry Rifle that Went to Canada! Here we present a C&R U.S. Eddystone Model 1917 Bolt Action Rifle, made in 1918 in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. This one is stamped “RCE 3 FC/218” on the right side of the butt stock for the Royal Canadian Engineers, we believe 3rd Field Company, with an inventory number of 218. There is also a “C” with a Broad Arrow within above this. Further, we believe that these were transferred out of Canadian hands in the post-war era and into the Danish military. The numbers on the bolt and the replacement front sight are evidence of this. 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 Eddystone Arsenal was a Baldwin Locomotive Works subsidiary located in Eddystone, Pennsylvania that produced military hardware for the Allies of World War I. As orders from combatants exceeded the production capacity of Baldwin's Philadelphia factory, this manufacturing facility was built in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. When the first world war ended, this manufacturing complex was used for locomotive manufacturing as Baldwin’s Eddystone Plant. The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and has a painted section at the front; solid throughout. Import marked on the right side of the barrel behind the rear sight. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: .30-06 Springfield Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1700 #233435 SOLD Antique: Yes |
