My father-in-law passed last year and I've ended up with his gun collection.

One rifle, that was his dad's, is a Remington model of 1917 with a date stamp of 11 - 18.

This rifle doesn't look like the old Enfields. It is looks like it may have been sporterized with newer bluing and a simplified receiver and blade front sight.

Are these pretty common?

I'm working on getting pics up.
