Offered here is a Winchester-manufactured U.S. Model of 1917 bolt-action rifle barreled action chambered in .30-06 Springfield, serial number 199485, manufactured circa March 1918 during the First World War. Originally produced for the United States military, the Model 1917 was one of the principal American service rifles of World War I and remains an important piece of American military firearms history. This example features a 26-inch barrel and a Winchester-marked bolt, retaining its original Winchester receiver with the prominent "U.S. MODEL OF 1917 WINCHESTER" markings. Particularly noteworthy is the later High Standard replacement barrel, bearing the "HS" manufacturer's marking, U.S. ordnance flaming bomb, and "P" proof marking, consistent with a World War II-era replacement. This combination of a World War I Winchester receiver and later military replacement barrel reflects the extended service life of these rifles and the maintenance and rebuilding practices employed during subsequent periods of military use. The receiver has been drilled and tapped for the installation of a sporting sight or optical mounting system. The 26-inch barrel retains a bright bore with sharp, well-defined rifling. The metal surfaces appear to retain much of their original finish, displaying scattered handling marks, finish wear, and localized areas of surface rust consistent with age and storage. The receiver markings remain sharp and clearly legible, while the action functions smoothly and properly. Offered as a barreled action without a stock, this Winchester Model 1917 presents an interesting opportunity for collectors of American military arms, particularly those interested in World War I production and subsequent World War II-era refurbishment.

Barrel Length: 26 inches.

Bore Condition: Bright bore with sharp, well-defined rifling.

Finish Condition: Retains much of its original-appearing metal finish, with scattered handling marks, finish wear, and localized areas of surface rust. Receiver markings remain sharp and legible.
