I picked up a Remington 1917 in 30-06 about a year ago, it was cheap, seemed like an OK 30-06 and i was bored waiting for a friend so I bought it. Serial # is 2931**. I have no idea about this rifle, its value, history all that, I did use the googles but mine looks a hair different than those online, and I paid WAY LESS which makes me think mine is different. It has all the markings from the 1917 info I can find, fireball thing, serial number means it was built July 1918 and it has eagles stamped on almost every part. I paid only $175 for it AT a gun shop but 1917's go from $425 to $1,500.

Your 1917 has had extensive modifications done to it. The rear sight used to be mounted to the rear receiver ring with 2 ears to protect it. Those are usually the first to go in a sporterization. The barrel was dovetailed for a sight and another sight is mounted over the chamber. It's worth what you paid for it, and is too far gone to ever be restored to military configuration. The action is popular for building magnum rifles.

The cock on closing feature, if still present on your rifle, can be changed to cock on opening if preferred. Click to expand.Not entirely correct. After the war, Remington had plenty left laying around and knew the value of the action. They proceed to produce the model 30.

The model 30 is much rarer to find. Comes with factory walnut sporter stock.

The M1917 Enfield, the 'American Enfield', formally named 'United States Rifle, cal.30, Model of 1917' is an American modification and production of the. And quickly surpassed the Springfield design in numbers produced and units. Remington Model 1934 rifles based on Model 30 actions were produced in 7×57mm as service. Feb 27, 2008 - I have recently purchased a Remington 'Model of 1917'.30-06. The rifle is odd in the fact that the serial number (6581XX) is higher than.

Standard iron sights, no 'wings' a pep sight. Outstanding gun. I have a couple guns built off the 1917 (mix from Remington-Winchester- and a couple Eddystones.) I only have one model 30 and its a beauty. But yes this is a std pattern 1917 Remington that has been 'sporterized' One of my favored actions for building on. To give you a real good idea of the retail value of this rifle. In a Pawn shop here in Woodburn is a 1917 Remington that has had the rear sight cut off the barrel shortened (no front dovetail) Had the receiever drilled for scope mounts. The stock was replaced with a VERY nice Monte carlo style sporter stock in straight grain walnut with nice caps.

It has a Leopold Rifleman 3-9X on it in excellent condition. The rifle has a good looking bore and the Bluing was obviously redone (excellent job) and a heavy leather sling. My son seriously considered buying it. Asking price was $399.00 best deal to an active duty Sailor (my son) was $350.00 I don't see yours as quite the same level as the one in Woodburn. Click to expand.Actually it ran a distant third in the WWII military action strength department.

Thermostat western model 091 instrukciya code. When I was in gunsmith school, our instructor, who was a huge history buff told us the Garand finished first (surprised me), then the early war Jap Arisakas (not the late war bonzai guns), then the 1917. Properly done, the 1917 can make a heck of a nice custom rifle. It's suitable or can be made so for the longest commercial cartridges available. But by the time you spend the money, you could probably have a nice CZ safari sporter for cheaper. The amount of machining needed to change the action to a commercial quality action is considerable. Mountainbear, I had read that the Arisaka was rated as strongest military action,when done right. I also read that their tolerances were all over the board and have you ever seen a model 99 in anything besides 7.7 or a model 38 in anything but 6.5.
