Built during World War I, this M1917 reflects Eddystone's large-scale U.S. production and the robust design standards of the era. The action cocks on closing and employs a straight bolt with a round knob, providing the characteristic feel associated with this model.
The rifle retains the correct military sighting system: a blade front sight with protective ears and an aperture/ladder rear sight mounted on the receiver bridge. These sights pair with the 26-inch barrel to deliver ample sight radius for service use.
The walnut stock and separate upper handguard display classic M1917 features, including grasping grooves, two barrel bands, and a steel buttplate with a trapdoor. Sling swivels are fitted at the middle band and butt. The length of pull measures 13.25 inches.
Functionally, the rifle uses an internal six-round magazine with a hinged floorplate and a bolt shroud safety. The steel receiver is marked "U.S. MODEL OF 1917 EDDYSTONE," aligning with its 1918 U.S. manufacture and WWI provenance.
