Up for auction is a highly desirable Remington Model of 1917 rifle, an important U.S. military service rifle from the World War I era. This example retains many attractive collector features, including a very good condition original-style stock with visible military inspection and production markings. The stock bears two "P" proof stamps, indicating the rifle passed military proofing procedures, along with the "ODEK" inspection marking associated with Remington stock acceptance and an "R" marking on the front end of the stock identifying Remington production. Additional Remington component markings are present, including "E" stamps on the cocking piece and bolt release, details that collectors examine when evaluating manufacturer-specific parts and originality on Model of 1917 rifles. The rifles metal finish remains in very good condition with some wear and handling marks, giving it authentic service character while retaining a strong overall appearance. The bore shows light frosting while maintaining good strong rifling, and mechanical operation is good and smooth. Included with the rifle is a desirable Remington-marked Model 1917 bayonet, stamped "Remington 1917" on one side with "US" and the ordnance bomb marking on the opposite side, adding additional collector interest and completing the military presentation of this Remington example.

The Model of 1917 rifle was one of the most significant U.S. military arms of the World War I period, with Remington being one of the primary manufacturers selected to produce this rifle alongside Winchester and Eddystone.
