Desirable Winchester Model of 1917 U.S. Enfield barreled action chambered in .30-06 Springfield, offering an excellent foundation for the restoration of a classic American military rifle. This example features an approximately 26-inch barrel marked "W 5-18," indicating Winchester manufacture and a May 1918 barrel date, placing it firmly within the World War I era. The metalwork retains its military phosphate-style finish, presenting an appealing service rifle appearance. The bore appears to be in good condition, exhibiting sharp, well-defined rifling with a reasonably bright interior that is neither mirror-like nor excessively dull. Included with the barreled action are the bolt, trigger mechanism, and bottom metal assembly, although the magazine spring, follower, and floorplate are missing. The rifle is also missing its wooden stock. The action is reported to function properly in its present configuration, making this an appealing starting point for a military restoration or custom gunsmithing project. With its Winchester manufacture, WWI-era barrel marking, desirable .30-06 chambering, and good bore condition, this Model 1917 presents an excellent opportunity to bring a historic American military rifle back to a complete configuration.
