for-sale Eddystone US Model of 1917 $400 *Reduced*

[austin7.62]

Looking to sell my eddystone M1917 (1,098,xxx, 11/18 barrel). I bought this a couple of years ago from RTI, and it has certainly seen better days. I took this rifle down and cleaned all of the grease and dirt out of it, and got it put back together. It’s not a very pretty rifle. A lot of the finish is gone, it is crusty in spots, and the stock has a crack in it on the right side by the receiver and hand guard. I have not attempted to repair the crack, and I have lost interest in this firearm and have a nicer example now. The rifle does have some positives, such as: a decent to good bore, with some wear and pitting throughout. It is complete, and the sights work and are not frozen or anything like that. I have not fired this weapon, but function tested it, and it seems to work fine. Restock the rifle, or repair the cracked stock, and you have what is probably a good shooter. $400, obo. Prefer Lenoir city/maryville/west Knox meet. You can PM me and I can text/email you more pictures.

Side by side which rifle is more accurate in stock military form with period ammo? The Mosin, the 1903, 1917, or K98? 

I don't want to include the Swiss because I know that answer lol.

some of you have asked about the bore. It could certainly use a cleaning. I just ran a patch down it and the bore snake a few times. It has defined rifling, and I think it will clean up with a soak and shooting it some. (I know pics aren’t great)
