He told me it failed due to excess headspace and would be unsafe to fire. I have an Eddystone I bought years ago and took it to a gunsmith to have the headspace checked. Make sure and use the proper method for checking headspace in the M1917 too, as it differs from your typical American bolt action rifle, as it cocks on closing, not opening. The original stock is still on it i believe. I will put pics up saturday when she somes home with me.

It is the 30-06 version, and it appears to be in original condition. Wow yes thanks for that treasyre trove of knowledge. As for a bolt look into Gun parts corp, or even local gun shows. Sporterized depending on the quality of the work and chambering $150- 500. I WWI condition modle 1917 may go for as much as $600-700. Ive owned a couple over the years, very strong action and accurate often sporterized by gunsmiths for hunting rifles. (Eddystone parts are marked with an E, Remington with an R and Winchester with a W.) If it was a WWII issue it may have been rebulit at an aresenal parts will be a greenish parkerized and small parts may not match. Many went to England as part of the lend lease program. Mostly issued to factory guards here in the US. It was used during WWII but not by front line US troops. They were mass produced for WWI and the vast majority of US troops in Europe were issued them even tho the 03 Springfield gets more press. You say its missing the magazine? This modle did not have a detachable mag(the Enfield SMLE did, similar but not the same gun). The rifle was made at the Eddystone plant(Remington IIRC) They were a copy of an English design and often refered to as an Enfield Pattern rifle.
