The battle sight was for 400 yard targets, the ladder sight is adjustable from 100 yards to 1600 yards. According to the 1914 / 1917 handbook 1,235,298 P14 s were made and 2,193,429 U.S. Rifle .30 Model 1917 s were produced.
The one bad thing about Great War rifles is those battle sights being set for those distances. Makes people think the guns are inaccurate and they end up changing the sight when sporterized. -N
I also have an all Winchester U.S. Model of 1917 sporteriaed in 1968 by me.... with Walnut Fajen stock and Bausch and Lomb 3x9 scope with Williams iron sights..... and Williams scope mounts
I have a heavily sporterised M1917 Eddystone,, action bedded, floated Shilen single taper barrel, Timney trigger shimmed and reground sears, solid bedded mount for an 8-32 scope, 50's sporterised stock and chrome bluing. The actions get a plum type blue due to the nickel. best group so far is 5 shots in .313" at 100yards. Love my rifle
Eddystone was not a subsidiary of Baldwin Locamotives. It is a subsidiary of Remington. Baldwin only leased factory space and built the buildings to suit Remingtons needs. Remington set up "Remington of Connecticut" to oversee operations at Eddystone Pa..
Eddystone was a subsidiary of Baldwin locomotive works as it was built as a second production plant for locomotives. Yes did Baldwin build the rifle plant for Remington. Yes they did But that was a separate building. Look at some Baldwin locomotives and you will eddystone on the builders plate. Eddystone built locomotives for the UK and the Russian 2-10-0 Russian decopod that got ordered for the first world war. - P
@SurplusBoysChannel Eddystone is the name of the town in Pennsylvania where the Baldwin Locamotive factory was. Remington used the name Eddystone to differentiate the plant from the one in Ilion New York, where they were filling contracts for 1891 Mosin Nagants for the Czar of Russia. The only connection to Baldwin Locamotives was that Baldwin made a lease agreement with Remington and then built to suit their needs. It was room at the Baldwin facility that was, otherwise, not being used.
@@GIJeaux1 Baldwin locomotive works was out of Philadelphia. eddystone was a a separate plant owned by Baldwin in eddystone PA. This might be a gun channel but railroads and stuff I have studied my whole life. Look it up before you comment. - P
You need to create a way to project a silhouette of war scenes on the sheet plastic while filming your videos. Tanks moving behind you, soldiers marching. Battleships firing cannons. Airplane dog fights, etc. Turn the lights off behind the plastic and see if projecting images can be seen clearly on the viewing side. Cool idea. Beautiful rifle. I know where one is, but the LGS wants one and a half K.
We’ll get there, getting a better background is on the agenda. Never thought of projecting on it though. Also the price tag for that M1917 sounds about right in today’s market. -N

best bolt rifle served in ww2
I have a very tasteful and very early sporterization of a U.S. Mod. of 1917. All Winchester.

I've got this rifle, with the bayonet and scabbard and cleaning kit in the butt. Great condition and accurate as hell.

@ypaulbrown minus points for sporterizing it BUT plus points for realizing the beauty of the stock rifle and at least doing it well. -N
i found a Remington made 1917 sporter that turned out to be an action up custom rifle. i bought it for 199$!
Does it have all the U.S. stamps or does it have model 30 on it? -N
@@SurplusBoysChannel it is not a model 30, it was a gov built rifle in the low 60k serial range made in feb 1918. it shoots fantastic. i
Oooo nice, that’s actually the same price I bought the model 30 for. -N
No need to pull stripper clip! Closing bolt removes it.
True that. In the flow of trying to remember what to say during filming we completely forgot to yeet that clip into the next dimension. -N
