Offered for sale is a Remington Model of 1917 .30-06 Hunting Rifle. This rifle features a 26" barrel, 6 shot magazine, pistol grip walnut stock, scope mounts, and two stage trigger. After the armistice most M1917 rifles were placed in storage, although Chemical Mortar units continued to be issued them. During the 1920s and 1930s many M1917 rifles were released for civilian use through the NRA, or were sold as surplus. Many were "sporterized", sometimes including rechambering to more powerful magnum hunting cartridges, such as .300 H&H Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum. It was so popular as a sporting weapon that Remington manufactured about 30,000 new rifles as the Model 30 from 1921 to 1940. The Danish Slædepatruljen Sirius still use the M1917 as their service weapon, due to the high reliability of these bolt-action rifles in the harsh conditions of high Arctic Greenland. This rifle is in good condition, shows some signs of use. It shows a bright bore with strong rifling. The rear iron sight has been shave to allow a scope mount to be installed, the front sight blade is also removed, and the action looks to have been tuned. This rifle was manufactured in January of 1918. Curio & Relic firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 108701
