Receiver features a 6 round integral magazine. Two barrel bands one with “stacking” swivel and one with shoulder sling swivel and bayonet lug. The barrel is stamped near the muzzle, “E / / 8-18”. The rifle is about 46 ¼” long overall with a 26” long barrel. This particular rifle was made by Remington at their Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant. Winchester and Remington manufactured nearly 2,200,000 Model 1917 rifles. These went into service known as the “Model 1917 US Magazine Rifle” or more commonly, the “Model 1917 Enfield”. US production facilities were already set up to manufacture the British pattern 1914 rifle so they were retooled to make rifles that fired the US 30.06 cartridge. When the United States entered WW1 they had a shortage of rifles.
