Serial Number:
There are a lot of “E” stampings all over the place on the Model 1917 and these are mostly visible. However, because they are very small a magnifying glass may be necessary?. But the most important ones are the 3 flaming bomb proof mark stampings on the: Left side of the receiver, the top of the bolt handle and on the barrel under the handguard. As this rifle has never been out of the wood since 1969 when it was inspected and test fired by a licensed Gunsmith, I didn’t take it out of the wood to check this last cartouche. The nose of the forend is marked with a “O. Per below it was and is, always stored / displayed in an AC, environment. Note: The US Ordinance cartouche “3Z” is very clearly marked on the bottom of the wrist and this is THE important cartouche, and, It should be the only ordinance marking on the wood. UNLESS of course it is an arsenal rebuild which this is not. Per above: There are “E’s” all over the place: Some examples

History:
This rifle was an American modification and production of the .303-inch (7.7 mm) Pattern 1914 Enfield rifle (British Service Rifle No. 3). So, the M1917 was often called the "American Enfield".
It was developed and produced during the period 1917–1918. Numerically, it was the primary rifle used by all of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War I. Not the “03”.
At the time of the American entry into World War II. The U.S. Army was still issuing the M1917 to Chemical Mortarmen. And, because it performs reliably in Arctic conditions, the Danish Sirius Dog Sled Patrol in Greenland still uses the M1917 as their service weapon. Which means that the M1917 could be the longest serving US military rifle in history. Not too many people know this.
According to the Springfield Research Service Serial Numbers books, volumes 3 & 4. Serial number 295360 was issued in August 1918. To Company F, 124th Infantry Regiment. This reference is as close as I can find, to the serial number of this rifle, which is 250958. Or 44.402 numbers lower than this rifle's #295360.
A serial number look up (://oldguns/sn_php/mildateslookup.php) indicates that this rifle was produced in April 1918. Putting both of these references together suggests it is very possible that this rifle saw service in WW 1? In fact, given that it is an arsenal refurbish, it most likely did see action in France?
Three companies produced the M1917 Rifle: Eddystone Arsenal (1,352,477), Remington arms Arms (545,541) and the Winchester Repeating Arms Co (465,980) . Winchester produced the fewest of total of 2,193,429 produced.

In 2002, the entire collection was professionally removed from wood and inspected for condition, then cleaned, lubricated and reassembled, by a very experienced and professional Gunsmith.

Because I was interested in maintaining as much of the original condition as possible, they have only been lightly cleaned and oiled by me. Because of this most rifles have some oil build-up in the tight places. The entire collection has never out of a temperature-humidity, controlled environment. Most post 1920 guns have been fired by a qualified gunsmith or range master, for reliability, functionality and safety confirmation. I have fired a few, limited to a total of <200 rounds. Most firearms that are equipped for them have as-issued correct Bayonet and Scabbards, in very good condition. And most have period correct: Slings, clips and / or removable magazines. All have the expected stampings and / or cartouches. As far as I know, there are no reproduction replacement parts in this collection!

Serial Number:
There are a lot of “E” stampings all over the place on the Model 1917 and these are mostly visible. However, because they are very small a magnifying glass may be necessary?. But the most important ones are the 3 flaming bomb proof mark stampings on the: Left side of the receiver, the top of the bolt handle and on the barrel under the handguard. As this rifle has never been out of the wood since 1969 when it was inspected and test fired by a licensed Gunsmith, I didn’t take it out of the wood to check this last cartouche. The nose of the forend is marked with a “O. Per below it was and is, always stored / displayed in an AC, environment. Note: The US Ordinance cartouche “3Z” is very clearly marked on the bottom of the wrist and this is THE important cartouche, and, It should be the only ordinance marking on the wood. UNLESS of course it is an arsenal rebuild which this is not. Per above: There are “E’s” all over the place: Some examples

History:
This rifle was an American modification and production of the .303-inch (7.7 mm) Pattern 1914 Enfield rifle (British Service Rifle No. 3). So, the M1917 was often called the "American Enfield".
It was developed and produced during the period 1917–1918. Numerically, it was the primary rifle used by all of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War I. Not the “03”.
At the time of the American entry into World War II. The U.S. Army was still issuing the M1917 to Chemical Mortarmen. And, because it performs reliably in Arctic conditions, the Danish Sirius Dog Sled Patrol in Greenland still uses the M1917 as their service weapon. Which means that the M1917 could be the longest serving US military rifle in history. Not too many people know this.
According to the Springfield Research Service Serial Numbers books, volumes 3 & 4. Serial number 295360 was issued in August 1918. To Company F, 124th Infantry Regiment. This reference is as close as I can find, to the serial number of this rifle, which is 250958. Or 44.402 numbers lower than this rifle's #295360.
A serial number look up (://oldguns/sn_php/mildateslookup.php) indicates that this rifle was produced in April 1918. Putting both of these references together suggests it is very possible that this rifle saw service in WW 1? In fact, given that it is an arsenal refurbish, it most likely did see action in France?
Three companies produced the M1917 Rifle: Eddystone Arsenal (1,352,477), Remington arms Arms (545,541) and the Winchester Repeating Arms Co (465,980) . Winchester produced the fewest of total of 2,193,429 produced.
Applies to all listings:
In 2002, the entire collection was professionally removed from wood and inspected for condition, then cleaned, lubricated and reassembled, by a very experienced and professional Gunsmith. All received a clean bill of health and were considered to be in much better condition than appropriate for the age. Because I was interested in maintaining as much of the original condition as possible, they have only been lightly cleaned and oiled by me. Because of this most rifles have some oil build-up in the tight places. The entire collection has never out of a temperature-humidity, controlled environment. Most post 1920 guns have been fired by a qualified gunsmith or range master, for reliability, functionality and safety confirmation. I have fired a few, limited to a total of <200 rounds. Most firearms that are equipped for them have as-issued correct Bayonet and Scabbards, in very good condition. And most have period correct: Slings, clips and / or removable magazines. All have the expected stampings and / or cartouches. As far as I know, there are no reproduction replacement parts in this collection! Some Government Arsenal Reconditions are included with clear markings of this reconditioning, and these are identified in the listing.
Based on my knowledge, all firearms are mechanically sound and complete. However, I am NOT warranting them as safe to fire. This must be determined by a qualified range master or gunsmith. All firearms are offered as collector’s items only. Seller does not accept responsibility as to the shooting safety or reliability of any firearm. The be really clear, a thorough inspection should be conducted by an experienced, reliable gunsmith / rangemaster, before even considering firing any gun.
