The seller describes a sporterized Eddystone M1917 with a nicely figured walnut stock, a cut-down barrel and a Weaver K6-C3 scope on top. It is used, chambered in .30-06 Springfield, with a 21.25 inch barrel and a six round capacity. The finish is black with a wood stock.

The M1917 was built by Eddystone, Winchester and Remington in World War I on the British P14 design, converted to fire the American .30-06 round. The action is strong, with a long, robust bolt and a rear aperture sight. After the war, sporterizing the 1917 was common, and these rifles became popular hunting guns.

A 21.25 inch barrel makes a handy rifle, and the scope sets it up for deer season. Six rounds in the magazine is more than the usual five of many bolt rifles. The M1917 action is also known for its smoothness.

Treat it as a hunting rifle with a military past. Check the scope mount and the zero before use. It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you pick, and the background check is completed there.
