IN EXCELLENT CONDITION,WE HAVE A VERY RARE UN-ALTERED REMINGTON MODEL OF 1917 US SERVICE RIFLE IN 30-06. THIS IS A BLUED RIFLE WITH ALL REMINGTON PARTS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION STILL WITH THE ISSUED LEATHER SLING. THE BARREL DATE IS SEPTEMBER 1918. THIS IS EXACTLY AS ISSUED IN WW1 WITH THE EAGLE HEAD CARTOUCHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STOCK. BY THE END OF WW1, 3/4THS OF THE US EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN EUROPE WAS ARMED WITH THE MODEL 1917 RIFLE. IT CAME VERY CLOSE TO REPLACING THE 1903 SPRINGFIELD AS OUR SERVICE RIFLE. SERGEANT ALVIN YORK USED THIS RIFLE IN HIS FAMOUS EXPLOITS, HE CALLED IT “THE BRITISH RIFLE”. THIS IS THE TYPE OF RIFLE HE DRILLED 30 GERMANS WITH. THESE STRAIGHT UP WW1 ISSUED ALL BLUED ORIGINAL CONDITION RIFLES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, AS NEARLY ALL WERE REWORKED AFTER WW1 AND MOST HAVE MIXED UP PARTS AND MANY MORE WERE REWORKED DURING WW2. WE RARELY SEEN THESE RIFLES WITHOUT REWORK STAMPS. THIS IS A NEARLY PRISTINE ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF THE RIFLE THAT WAS REALLY USED OVER THERE.
