- Late night video trying not to wake the whole house up.....might have actually succeeded in putting you all to sleep!
I love this rifle.....it lies at the top of the bolt action battle rifle pile. It is a true amalgamation of British, German, and American design.
You can show your channel support by visiting RealisticSnapCaps.com and checking out their entire line of totally inert but extremely realistic training rounds in various pistol and rifle calibers. These “snap caps” have all metal construction, soft firing pin protecting “primer” pads made from silicone, and “projectiles” that are solidly bonded to the brass cases that can take a tremendous amount of abuse.....loading over and over and over. I know....I own over 20 of their different calibers and have cycled them countless times. PLUS, use coupon code MILSURPGARAGE for 10% off and they offer FREE SHIPPING!

I just received the Model 1917 from my father and after watching your video I placed an order for the 30.06 (8 rounds) and en bloc clip with Realistic Snap Caps. No free shipping unless $99 or more purchase. Hey, great video. Very interesting and I handled my rifle as you went through various steps. Thank you!
Glad I could help. Realistic snap caps had free shipping for a period until postage went through the roof for everyone. I think what they charge now is only half what it cost for them to get it to you. Regardless, well worth it in my opinion. Don’t forget to use my coupon code for 10% off!
I have a sporterised one here in Australia with Shilen Barrel and a Timney trigger, sporterised stock, bedded and floated, the sight ears had been ground off when I bought the action and a bedded bridge fixed to the top with an 8-32x45 scope on it. It will shoot 0.3" at 100yards. I kept it 30-06", it's a great calibre and the brass lasts forever.
I’ve seen some real beauties in the sporterised arena with these. That sounds like a real nice one.
One of my favorite rifles I own since I was 19 years old. With home rolled ammunition it's the most accurate rifle I have when it's in my hands. It's almost in par with the k31 rifle I own. Even with open sites. The peep sight system on this particular rifle is the granddaddy design of all peep sights afterwards on American rifles. You have a fairly early example. Mine's over the 1 million mark. And according to my barrel it was produced on the 11th month of 1918. The month the war ended. Yours is a very beautiful example as well. They're kind of the forgotten American battle rifle that doesn't get as much recognition as it should. It came awful close to replacing the 1903 Springfield.
Decades ago I had a Remington 1917 and an Eddystone P14. Great sights. I also had a Remington model 3 in 30 REM. Great rifles. All sadly passed on to another collector.
And another….and another.
Thanks for tuning in
I had one of these. Very nicely made. Very accurate. No mishaps or fowl ups of any kind. They need to be manufactured again the exact same way as the originals. I think they are an outstanding rifle.
Agree.. unfortunately to get the same degree of craftsmanship you would have to pay $4000 apiece
Your description wasn't kidding. This is one of my favorite videos to fall asleep to.
I’m hoping that’s a compliment.
Very nice gun, and lots of information. Thanks.
Frank Webster Very kind.
Excellent review. I grew up near Eddystone, PA off the old Industrial Highway in Delaware County. So the E was always my favorite. In the 60s, they were sold in Center City Philly by John Wannamaker's Department Store for a few bucks. I took mine home on the El and the trolly.
Imagine trying that in Philly today?
Good video. Pocked up my example on a whim. Glad I did, a stout battle rifle in 30.06, with greats sights.
Nice!
My 1st rifle was '17 eddystone. $29.95 from Sears in KCMO. Had other 17s and 03s over the years. Always thought 17s were better than 03s. When I bought that 1st 17, 03s were listed in the same catalog for $39.95.
You can add $1000 to that price now from what I’m seeing. Sheeesh.
Had one for years, battle beast is a nice description, loved it .
Thanks for tuning in!
Just bought a Winchester 1917 in Northern CA. Complete with bayonet. Can't wait to shoot it.
Nice.
Just bought one today. Great info.
Thanks!
Love this gun, inherited one from my grandpa and ever since its been one of my favorite rifles due to accuracy and durability. Also That happened to me when i tried using a striper clip so i just hand load it
I love pressing the rounds into these internal magazines one by one. Thanks for sharing and enjoy that 1917.
Good video, imagine people were shooting at each other with what we call big game cartridges today, it's no wonder that so many were killed or maimed!
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure! Thanks for tuning in.
I bought a M1917 Eddystone in India today .@@MilsurpGarage
Nice. I just got back from work to finish the video. You're correct. You really can't "idiot proof" anything. Time and time again, they've shown their resourcefulness in defeating every safety imaginable.
marcogram C’mon, be honest, you just woke up and finished after I put you to sleep! Man, last video I make when I’m dead tired.
No powder, no bang. Period. Without the gunpowder they are as safe as Barbie Dolls.
With gunpowder, somehow, eventually, you will have an accidental discharge.
@@MilsurpGarage Haha. Seriously though I started it at 3am. I know that I appreciate the effort. I have only observed the time it takes to shoot and edit one video and I damn sure came to a reality check pretty quick that I probably won't do it.
I have had one AD before and it was about 30 years ago due to ABSOLUTE stupidity. It hasn't and won't happen again. Good video nonetheless.
The rear sight axis screw thread end is staked on mine. I thought I was going to remove it so I could temporarily mount a Skinner sight on it to compensate for the extreme range zero. I ended up with a taller front sight. Well built rifles for sure.
Can u show a picture of the staked screw? I think mine is staked as well i wanted to buy the scope mount they sell that requires no drilling and uses the original screws but if its staked i dont think it will work
I thought those markings on the left side of the loading port was a scratch/dent on my rifle. Glad to see it’s just factory marking lol
It just went up in value do to a rise in condition rating!
I sure like mine. Been in my family since my dad got it for $45 when he got out of the army in 46.
Nice.
P14 enfield was british i think the early trial was a .280 round , like the Ross for field trials if im not mistaken
भाई जी काटरेज मिल जाऐगा बोर 280
Looks like a Remington stock, and of course a Remington barrel. Possibly an "A A X" Augusta Arsenal rebuild mark on left side of stock.
I read it as XVV but you are right, I guess is could be a soft stamped AAX.
Just picked up a Winchester at the Tulsa show. Freaking lucked out. Showed up intending to find one and it was the first rifle at the first table. Almost passed on it because I wanted to see what the rest of the show had.
Fortunately I was smart enough to nab it up, it’s in beautiful condition.
Do you know the exact changeover number? Mine is 40xx and it says “Winchester” it doesn’t have the us “w”

I have an imported remington 1917. I wonder which countries the US gave them to after ww1/ww2?
It's springfield week on you tube !

Springfield Model 67f

Springfield Model 15

are those STAKE punches OR
just a mark to where the screw
/bolt is to be tightened?
I always called them staked screws but I did a little searching and found some reliable info on a 1917 chat forum that says.....
“The original purpose, like the keeper screws on Mausers, was to keep the screws from coming loose, and it does that. But it also means the screws can't be turned without shearing the staking, so any screw that will turn easily has been off before, and the rifle is not "untouched."
Removal of the guard screws, BTW, was not to be done by the individual soldier, or at least that is what "the book" says. (In the American army, I can only guess how much that rule was obeyed.)”
I have my grand fathers Score book from boot camp on the 1917 in 1917, needless to say he sucked shooting and was a motorcycle messenger , He said two week before he was to be sent over he accident was forced off the road taking him and a Col. out of the War. he broke his leg.
Interesting how popular motorcycles were in wartime back then. I’ve seen collections of them. Check out dragon man.
Sweedish stripper clips dont work. Byoy have to use the m14 strippers. The correct ones will have the bumps in the side in the middle. (Only one on each side)
Thanks for the heads up. I’m a big fan of manually loading the internal mag anyway.....a holdover from all those Hickok 45 videos.
When I was in high school in the late 1950's, we used to go down to Canal St. and window shop at the surplus stores in that locale. They had hundreds of U.S. Enfields that were selling for a few bucks at the time. At today's gun shows they command a premium. Another example of "if I knew then what I know now". Oh well...
My Dad bought the Santa Fe Jungle Carbine either there or in Brooklyn in the 50’s........my first video posted to youtube shows me shooting it....think I have a feature video of it up there too.
Right on dad told me the same and Grandpa i was kid still didn't go for much nobody wanted them dam good shooters lot deer killed with them to
Looking for front sights. I need to get a 200 yard battlesight zero for hunting. Probably need a .075 or .090. What parts house has them these days?
Hello Sir. I just bought a M1917 Eddystone. the Rifle stock has been sporterized. The Barrel and the Action has no engraving/stamp of the caliber of the Rifle. Could you please tell me if your M1917 Rifle has 30-O6 Springfield engraved/stamped on it ? Many thanks.
It does not have caliber designation on it. Make sure it is actually a Model 1917 and not a Pattern 1914 in .303 British.
My rifle has Eddystone 83351 engraved on the receiver .@@MilsurpGarage
After i shot mine its get super hard to extract the shell i dont know why.
Shine some bright light into the chamber and look in there real good......the chamber walls where the loaded bullet sits.....hows it look?
Non rotating claw extractor could be broken at it's thinnest part.
Couple inches longer than a 1903
That’s what she said.
@@MilsurpGarage 03 is 42.3 inches so if she want a couple more she obviously needs an Enfield 1917
Could of shown how a penny was used to disassemble the bolt!
I’ll leave that to you! Make a video and share it here with us.
I have an Eddystone Magazine cover on my Winchester....want to trade? Lol
