If you want an "Enfield" M1917, watch CMP. They have Service Grades on sale for $500 right now. Although I see this at the top of the page "** Not available through mail order. Counter purchases only at the Camp Perry & Anniston CMP stores when available** "

I ordered one they had listed as a rack grade last year, and got this.

I was expecting an Eddystone, and surprise surprise, when I opened up the box, it was a Winchester!

It shoots great. Very accurate if I can get my aging eyes to cooperate.

I called CMP and talked to one of the "gun" guys up there and asked if the rack grade M1917 was a shooter or a wall hanger. I wanted a shooter and he said it was a functional rifle. I took a chance for $400 and got rewarded I think.

I waited too long on the M1903s CMP had for sale, but I was told they should have some in February 2010 I think. I plan on ordering one as soon as they post them on the webpage.
