Late night video trying not to wake the whole house up.....might have actually succeeded in putting you all to sleep!
I love this rifle.....it lies at the top of the bolt action battle rifle pile. It is a true amalgamation of British, German, and American design.
You can show your channel support by visiting RealisticSnapCaps.com and checking out their entire line of totally inert but extremely realistic training rounds in various pistol and rifle calibers. These “snap caps” have all metal construction, soft firing pin protecting “primer” pads made from silicone, and “projectiles” that are solidly bonded to the brass cases that can take a tremendous amount of abuse.....loading over and over and over. I know....I own over 20 of their different calibers and have cycled them countless times. PLUS, use coupon code MILSURPGARAGE for 10% off and they offer FREE SHIPPING!

My 1st rifle was '17 eddystone. $29.95 from Sears in KCMO. Had other 17s and 03s over the years. Always thought 17s were better than 03s. When I bought that 1st 17, 03s were listed in the same catalog for $39.95.

You can add $1000 to that price now from what I’m seeing. Sheeesh.

One of my favorite rifles I own since I was 19 years old. With home rolled ammunition it's the most accurate rifle I have when it's in my hands. It's almost in par with the k31 rifle I own. Even with open sites. The peep sight system on this particular rifle is the granddaddy design of all peep sights afterwards on American rifles. You have a fairly early example. Mine's over the 1 million mark. And according to my barrel it was produced on the 11th month of 1918. The month the war ended. Yours is a very beautiful example as well. They're kind of the forgotten American battle rifle that doesn't get as much recognition as it should. It came awful close to replacing the 1903 Springfield.

Excellent review. I grew up near Eddystone, PA off the old Industrial Highway in Delaware County. So the E was always my favorite. In the 60s, they were sold in Center City Philly by John Wannamaker's Department Store for a few bucks. I took mine home on the El and the trolly.

I just received the Model 1917 from my father and after watching your video I placed an order for the 30.06 (8 rounds) and en bloc clip with Realistic Snap Caps. No free shipping unless $99 or more purchase. Hey, great video. Very interesting and I handled my rifle as you went through various steps. Thank you!

@MilsurpGarage 3 месяца назад

Glad I could help. Realistic snap caps had free shipping for a period until postage went through the roof for everyone. I think what they charge now is only half what it cost for them to get it to you. Regardless, well worth it in my opinion. Don’t forget to use my coupon code for 10% off!

I have a sporterised one here in Australia with Shilen Barrel and a Timney trigger, sporterised stock, bedded and floated, the sight ears had been ground off when I bought the action and a bedded bridge fixed to the top with an 8-32x45 scope on it. It will shoot 0.3" at 100yards. I kept it 30-06", it's a great calibre and the brass lasts forever.

Just picked up a Winchester at the Tulsa show. Freaking lucked out. Showed up intending to find one and it was the first rifle at the first table. Almost passed on it because I wanted to see what the rest of the show had. Fortunately I was smart enough to nab it up, it’s in beautiful condition. Do you know the exact changeover number? Mine is 40xx and it says “Winchester” it doesn’t have the us “w”

@bumpercoach Год назад

are those STAKE punches OR just a mark to where the screw /bolt is to be tightened?

@MilsurpGarage 9 месяцев назад

I always called them staked screws but I did a little searching and found some reliable info on a 1917 chat forum that says..... “The original purpose, like the keeper screws on Mausers, was to keep the screws from coming loose, and it does that. But it also means the screws can't be turned without shearing the staking, so any screw that will turn easily has been off before, and the rifle is not "untouched." Removal of the guard screws, BTW, was not to be done by the individual soldier, or at least that is what "the book" says. (In the American army, I can only guess how much that rule was obeyed.)”

@Isaihernandez777 Год назад

I thought those markings on the left side of the loading port was a scratch/dent on my rifle. Glad to see it’s just factory marking lol

@MilsurpGarage Год назад

Looks like a Remington stock, and of course a Remington barrel. Possibly an "A A X" Augusta Arsenal rebuild mark on left side of stock.

The rear sight axis screw thread end is staked on mine. I thought I was going to remove it so I could temporarily mount a Skinner sight on it to compensate for the extreme range zero. I ended up with a taller front sight. Well built rifles for sure.

When I was in high school in the late 1950's, we used to go down to Canal St. and window shop at the surplus stores in that locale. They had hundreds of U.S. Enfields that were selling for a few bucks at the time. At today's gun shows they command a premium. Another example of "if I knew then what I know now". Oh well...

Hello Sir. I just bought a M1917 Eddystone. the Rifle stock has been sporterized. The Barrel and the Action has no engraving/stamp of the caliber of the Rifle. Could you please tell me if your M1917 Rifle has 30-O6 Springfield engraved/stamped on it ? Many thanks.
