For sale is a WW1 U.S. Eddystone M1917 rifle in the original caliber of .30-06. The M1917 was produced by Eddystone, Remington, and Winchester. There were 2 or 3 of these to every M1903 issued in WW1. The Springfield M1903 gets all the credit, but there were MANY more M1917 rifles issued during the war. These are not available through the CMP (I'm guessing this is a DCM rifle, as there are NO import markings anywhere) unless you get extremely lucky and one happens to roll in (Good Luck!) while you are at one of their stores. In this condition, it would go straight to their auction site and sell for $3k. Ser# 1133381 (notice the "full house" serial number) was manufactured in September of 1918 (an actual chance of being used in WW1), and the barrel is the original 9-18 dated barrel. Most of the parts that I can see (without disassembling the rifle) are Eddystone marked with an E. The photos will show all the parts. The ones that are not E-marked are easily obtainable online. The stock is in decent condition with original cartouches. The bore and rifling are very nice and shiny with some micro-pitting in there. Nothing that will affect accuracy. This rifle will be a great shooter. The muzzle gauges at 0.75 on my gauge, which is probably close to what it came from the factory as. Just a really nice-looking M1917 with a great barrel. Great for shooting and collecting. This is C&R eligible, where legal. Included is an original Remington-made Model 1917 bayonet and scabbard. The scabbard was made by JEWELL and is dated 1918. Only Remington and Winchester made M1917 bayonets. Eddystone did not make its own. Also included is the original, unmarked (probably worn away, as most were lightly marked) M-1907 sling. It is an original from WW1 with the brass frogs. I'm guessing this sat in a closet for many years. Hence the paint. I have seen it many times where they painted right around the guns in the closet! This makes for a nice, complete collector's/shooter's package. C&R eligible, where legal.
