SOLD! For sale in Pensacola: History in your hands! The most commonly used US service rifle in WW1 by far. Growing ever more scarce each year. This is a Remington made early M1917, 30-'06 caliber, low four digit serial number. The 105 year old action is still in remarkable condition. The walnut stock and handguard show the expected dings and dents (I consider minor and NOT sanded) but no cracks. This rifle was re-arsenaled after WW1 possibly at the San Antonio Arsenal and rebuilt in Ogden Utah (stock cartouche for Ogden inspector Ed Klouser and SAA on left side) and Parkerized at that time. Parts are a mix with some being Eddystone. Square bordered P stamp on the wrist. It was re-barreled for WW2 with a Johnson Automatics "JA" stamped barrel. The bore shows use but the barrel has plenty of life left in it. I have fired this rifle at ERGC and had no problem hitting steel plates at 140 yards. Comes with a reproduction 1907 leather sling. Price now $850. The CMP office in Anniston confirms this to be a CMP sale from 2006 as a Service Grade. Buyer must be legally able to purchase and complete a bill of sale. Please contact me through this forum. Thanks for looking!
