The Springfields went to the Marines and the Army got most of the 1917's. My Grandfather and one in WW1. My dad was issued one in OCS in WW2 and i have had 2. One issue and one , a Ted Williams from Sears.
For myself I like seeing the action of the rifle how much it kicks etcthe Bolt action and all that , much more than seeing the target I know what looks like thanks again I’m really enjoying your channel! Also living here in Texas I rarely wear a mask since the first lockdown and haven’t been vaxxed, I have family triple jabbed at home with the Covid , I’m 61 and doing fine I have got the yearly crud that I get every year for decades and it’s no big deal , anyway thanks again
Love to see these old guns. Right now a Remington or Eddystine will set you back 1500 Simoleons. This is a nice gun. This 30s is cool. Nice history on family heirloom.
Mr.Jones, sorry to hear what happened to your Uncle, I am with you on that, he should have been protected. I like your videos, you are a good shot sir, liked your informative video on the Remington & Winchester bolt actions. Thankyou sir for the information.You and your wife take care of yourselves.

Hey Sarge....Did Eddystone sporterize any of their rifles? Just wondering, cuz my kid has one that has been sporterized, but his still has the original military rear sight with the ears.
The Eddystone's were government property. The ones held over after the war stayed in the U.S. inventory. A lot were sold off after the next war. But not all. Some were left to give the South Vietnamese.
@@esquad5406, Thanks. BTW, my kid is a Sarge too, with the PD that he's with. He just finished a stint as a Homicide Detective. I think he got tired of looking at dead bodies every day. So he got out of the suit, and back to wearing the "blues".
There were no steps in the barrel on Enfields. Add'l...they flattened the 5 and 6 rnd magazine. The stocks were Remington made. On average for accuracy the American Enfield was more accurate than the 03 Springfield in use by the U.S. Mil. The springfield with its stamped parts was lighter to carry and sights on the Enfield could not be destroyed or knocked out of adjustment without destroying the rifle.
How many young UA-camrs pushed the PMag. Don’t think I ever bought any. Too many of these young UA-camrs who never served as military or LEO think they know everything and calling anyone over 40 a Fudd. But your trash find proves their lack of knowledge.
Always interesting to hear the history of the rifles. Sorry for your uncle’s passing.
Thank you.

Appreciate the history Sarge, I enjoyed the commentary as well.
I have a Sporterized 1917 Eddy Stone. It looks very similar to the factory set. Who ever did it, did it well. Mine had a Redfield peep.
I'v seen some nice one's. And a horror show or two.

Gun stores of ones youth are absolutely priceless! I’m VERY VERY sorry about your loss of your friend
Excellent review of a very nice Post WW1 sporting rifle. Strong action nice setup for the day and still a viable hunting arm as it sits.

Thankyou. I will.
Beautiful rifle
Do you think you could do a video demonstrating how the rounds go flying out of the top of the Omega magazine?
Sure. You come over to the house and do 30 round pick up.

Great vid. We are in agreement on the vaccine. We lost 7 friends to covid. We survived without incident.

You say that without asking him if the mags were still functional or not. Strange.
@@jbhickok7796 you think msgs in the trash are functional
yet the military uses them, which doesn't say much, but they must be reliable enough
No clot shot for me.............
o.k.
