Excellent rifle.

That's a fancy piece of walnut for a military rifle. The 1917s were great rifles.

That is what I was thinking. Looks good though.

Mostly Remington,... tore it down and found 3 E marked pieces Eddystone... no biggie can always replace them later if the spirit moves me..

I was amazed at the wood when I got it home and in decent light 92 years ago they had some awesome trees

The only truly 'all matching' US military weapons I have ever seen were all unissued or assembled by people trying to make them match. When soldiers clean their weapons, parts get switched or replaced. As long as the bolt, barrel and receiver match, I don't worry about the rest (and won't pay extra for it).

Nice M1917. They are excellent shooters, and very accurate.

Like 1gewehr said, most U.S. military rifles won't hve matching nos. because most got rebarreled at least one time. Stocks and other parts got changed too. Nice old rifle you have there.
