I bought this Winchester 1917 "Enfield" from a friend of mine. He has had it for years and I have constantly mentioned that if he ever wished to sell it, I would buy it from him.
He has been in the process of streamlining his collection and finally decided to part with this rifle, so he gave me a call.
I'd like some information on which sling to put on the rifle and what type of clips it uses (does it use the same clips at a '03 Springfield?)
But really I just thought I'd show it off a little
The bayonet is a well-made reproduction that I bought him years ago for his birthday..

This is a late built rifle, as I believe that Winchester made only around 30,000 M1917s

While many shooters overlook the M1917 and focus on the more well known rifles from era; it's my personal favorite and I think the '17 in the best rifle of WW1.
I'm glad to have it in my collection
