What's Included
- Eddystone M1917 Enfield sporterized bolt-action rifle in .30-06
Built by Eddystone during the WWI era, this U.S. Model of 1917 maintains its strong controlled-feed bolt action with a round-knob bolt handle and an internal 5-round box magazine with a hinged floorplate. Chambered in .30-06, it offers the classic cartridge pairing for this platform.
The sporter conversion centers on an aftermarket one-piece hardwood stock with a straight comb, a shortened fore-end, and a steel buttplate. Sling attachment points are present at the fore-end and butt, with an inletted front sling-swivel plate.
The 26-inch stepped barrel ends in a simple crown, reflecting careful attention to the muzzle during the conversion. This profile supports the rifle’s balance while preserving original barrel length.
Sighting equipment remains true to the Model of 1917 pattern, with a receiver-bridge aperture ladder rear sight and a dovetailed front blade, both protected by sturdy ears. Small parts and metal components bear Eddystone "E" inspection stamps, confirming its U.S. manufacture and parts provenance.
