C&R U.S. Eddystone Model 1917 Bolt Action Rifle, made in 1918 in Eddystone,
Pennsylvania. The Eddystone Model 1917 was an adaptation of Britain’s Enfield
Pattern 1914 that both Remington, Eddystone (a subsidiary of Remington), and
Winchester were producing during the Great War.
This was prior to direct American intervention, which occurred in April of 1917, in the
worldwide conflict. When the U.S. entered the war, they too needed all the small arms
production they could muster for the war effort. Rather than retooling these factories
to produce the American Model 1903, the U.S. Ordnance Department simply
elected to adapt the Enfield Pattern 1914 to American specifications, primarily
chambering the rifle for .30-06 Springfield, creating the U.S. Model 1917.
These went to arm the American Expeditionary Force in Europe during WWI

Est value is $200 - $250
