Offered here is a desirable World War I-era Remington U.S. Model of 1917 Enfield bolt-action military rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield, serial number 61441, manufactured approximately February 1918. Produced for the United States military during the First World War, the M1917 was among the most widely issued American service rifles of the conflict, recognized for its exceptionally robust action, receiver-mounted aperture sight, and excellent accuracy. This example features a 26-inch barrel dated "11-17" (November 1917), retaining sharp, well-defined rifling. The full-length military hardwood stock bears the desirable "RIA/FK" arsenal inspection cartouche, identifying Rock Island Arsenal under inspector Frank Krack, whose markings are associated with the 19411946 refurbishment period. This marking provides an interesting connection to the rifle's continued military service and refurbishment history during the Second World War era. The rifle retains a Parkerized metal finish with scattered thinning and finish losses along raised edges and high-contact areas, consistent with age and military handling. The hardwood stock has been refinished and displays scattered handling marks and minor impressions while retaining an attractive overall presentation. The bolt is marked "W," indicating Winchester manufacture, reflecting the interchangeability of components among the three principal M1917 manufacturers. The rifle retains its characteristic protective rear sight ears, military sights, and full-length stock configuration. Combining early 1918 Remington production, an 11-17 dated barrel, and a desirable Rock Island Arsenal inspection marking, this is an appealing example of an important American military rifle with features representative of both World War I production and subsequent arsenal refurbishment.
Barrel Length: 26 inches; barrel dated 11-17.
Bore Condition: Sharp, well-defined rifling.
Finish Condition: Parkerized metal finish with scattered edge wear, high-point thinning, and handling marks. Hardwood stock has been refinished and exhibits minor impressions and age-related wear.
