What’s Included
- Remington M1917 Enfield .30-06 bolt-action rifle
The M1917’s bolt action is cock-on-closing and uses a dog-leg bolt handle with a round knob for positive operation. A fixed internal magazine holds 5 rounds and can be topped off via 5-round stripper clips through the charger bridge.
Its sighting setup pairs a pinned blade front sight protected by twin wings with a receiver-mounted aperture rear. The rear includes a flip-up ladder adjustable to roughly 1,600 yards, providing a precise and well-protected military sight picture.
The rifle retains classic U.S. service configuration: a full-length oil-finished walnut stock with long grasping grooves, an upper walnut handguard, and a single stock bolt/pin forward of the magazine well. Hardware includes sling swivels, a nose cap with bayonet lug and stacking swivel, and a steel buttplate with trapdoor.
Barrel twist is 1:10 left-hand to stabilize standard .30-06 projectiles of the period. Markings include the boxed stock cartouche "F.S.S.A." on the right side and small inspection letters on various components (e.g., "E"), consistent with U.S. military acceptance and part inspections.
