    New 1917's

    I recently glommed two 1917's at separate auctions...a Winchester and a Remington.

    The Winchester...


    Auction description advised:

    Condition: Very good with an excellent bore. Retains ca 50% original blue finish; very good wood with added gloss finish. Serial number 471495


    The Remington...


    Auction description advised:

    Remington model 1917 30-06 great condition sn 434436

    The Remington came with a weathered looking sling.

    Better description and pics when they arrive.

      SWEEET! Congrats!
      Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

      I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

      Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

              Thanks, guys.

              I hope the bores are good on these.

                  If you plan on shooting the Remington, make sure the receiver doesn't have stress cracks in it. I've heard some Remington receivers had problems with that IIRC...

                      Well...disappointing news.

                      The Remington never arrived. When I called the auction house, I was advised that it had actually been sold to another bidder.

                      The Winchester did arrive. Mostly Winchester parts in an Eddystone stock. The stock has been urethaned, so I've got some work cut out for me.

                      Bore looks good and gauges a "2" on the CMP gauge. Range report to follow...

                          Nice. Strip that stock and put some BLO on there.

                              Yeah, poly just looks trashy on a milsurp. BLO would be a big improvement.

                                  You need to replace that front handguard. Remember I told you that I had a box of NOS Eddystone front handguards from 1919 that I've been selling on another forum? Here is the info I posted on CMP forum:

                                  These are from a sealed package dated 1919 from Eddystone. This is the last of my NOS handguards and they are the nicest ones that I was going to keep but decided to let someone else enjoy them. If you have a damaged or a non matching handguard replace it with these and you’ll be glad you did. Asking $30 each plus the ride to you.

                                  The following are spoken for: #9, 7, 10.
