1917 Remington

I love the response. I do hope we get more. I have an affinity for milspec weapons. Even though it was my Grandfathers I hate that it was modified. That being said, returning it to its glory days would not be an inconvenience and in fact, in my opinion, would do a great justice for my father and the history of the rifle.

Numrich should be open. I got some parts in early July that I had ordered 3 1/2 months before. I ordered my parts days before they had to shut down.
Unless things have changed again

And now the bayonet:

The M1917 rifle was 46.25 inches in length with a 26-inch barrel. The weapon also weighed about 9.18 pounds and had a magazine capacity of SIX rounds. It could be loaded with a standard 5 round stripper clip. There is a Danish Navy unit that does long range recon in cold weather and they still use the M1917 because of reliability.

Military spare parts are expensive.

The incorrect time period parts that fit are real expensive.

FYI, the Mauser (K98k), the 1903 and the m1917 are controlled-feed actions BUT the extractors of the 1903 (and variants) and the M1917 have a different configuration from the later Mausers. They are slightly narrower at the front of the extractor than the rest of the extractor and they have a “snap-over” capability. Both FM 23-6 (M1917) and FM 23-10 (1903) indicate single loading where you insert the round in the chamber and close the bolt. Inserting rounds through the magazine would be smoother, of course, but there it is. Comments?

Here are some photos of my 1917 Eddystone in 300 Ackley which is just an improved 300 H-H or improved 300 Weatherby.
Mine is cock on opening with the ears ground off and a Timney Tigger has been installed. The floorplates was heated up and pounded flat. The stock is a Richards Microfit at around $120.
The extractor on mine as you can see is huge. If you want to single feed it you grind it narrower.

Woodusmc-Liberty Tree Collectors has a number of parts you may be interested in. They have a repro m1917 stock for $245. A P14 stock is not interchangeable. Look at Thea.com Vintage Gun parts. There are M1917 parts available.
