U.S. Ordnance flaming bomb stamps appear on the receiver, barrel, and bolt handle, complemented by Eagle’s head over letter/number inspector marks on key components. The rifle retains the M1917 receiver ears/base. The front sight is a ramped bead.
The aftermarket walnut sporter stock features a Monte Carlo comb and a left-side cheekpiece for a raised, consistent cheek weld. It is smooth and uncheckered, with white-line spacers at the butt, grip cap, and forend tip, plus a black grip cap, black buttplate, and black forend tip. Sling swivel studs and swivels are installed, and a leather carry sling is attached. Length of pull is 13.5 inches.
Original military bottom metal is retained, including the trigger guard and floorplate. Receiver material is steel. The result is a sporterized M1917 that combines WWI-era Remington markings and configuration details with practical field updates.
