May 23, 2017 - View of Model 1917 rear sight and unique shape of the rifle's bolt handle. On May 10, 1917, each of the three manufacturers (Winchester, Remington. Was stamped “U.S./Model of 1917/ name of maker/serial number”.

Hello, my first post here and I really enjoy this site. I've been a long time Remington Collector and have now been bitten by the military grade Remington rifles.

I'm pretty limited on knowledge so I'm looking for some info on a 1917. A gun collector friend called me and asked if I was interested in a Remington 1917. Here is what I found out: Cartouche Marks: On the left side of the stock, there is a clear 'RA-R' stamp then below it is 'AA-A' Can anyone decipher these for me?

'P' in the circle down by the trigger. I know about these The receiver is stamped Remington 1917 Barrel is Remington and dated 1/18. Barrel is very clean Most, if not all of the other metal parts I found had an 'E' stamped on them.

I assume this is means 'Eddystone' The serial number is in the 144000 range The wood looks excellent, no cracks, gouges, etc Bluing looks very good. Parts all appear original and functional I'll try and post a pic if I can get one. Can anyone tell me a price range for this rifle? It is very clean and I would like to make this guy an offer.

Looking at Gunbroker and others the price ranges are all over the place and it's difficult to determine the value. Any ideas on value would be appreciated. I need to move quickly as he is going to sell this shortly.

RA-R (more likely an RA-P) would be Raritan Arsenal, another rebuild facility, which means the rifle went through the mill more than once, which was not uncommon. Eddystone parts are very common on rebuilt rifles, since Eddystone made the most rifles and the most spare parts. A serial number in the 144,000 range is in the zone for a 1/18 barrel date, so my guess would be that the barrel is original to the receiver. Rebuilds may hit the $700 range on the auction sites, but at a gun show I would expect to see prices more in the $500 to $550 range. Last edited by Jungles; at 09:16 PM.

In looking at the two books I currently have on the M1917, you may have found a gun with a possibly significant serial number. Assuming the serial number has not been altered (inspect the reciever stamping carefully) the rifle in question is a few thousand numbers higher than the last expected number from the (incomplete) records currently available! I would buy that rifle, if not ridiculously priced, were I in your shoes - and if you can't or decide not to, please let me know where it is! It is not, and now never will be an all original collectors piece, as it is now a mixmaster, but it is an interesting insight into M1917 production.

Like M1 Garands, there is an 'official' last serial number in most books that is obviously not the last number - because we have rifles numbered higher. The last Remington M1917 serial currently known, based on the end of the World War I, plus postwar production up until December, 1918, as manufacturers were allowed to finish 'work in progress' and phase out their manufacturing opperations. The number in JC Harrison's book shows a definite serial number of 545,541 for the last rifle as of Nov. 9, 1918 - wartime production. The 'work in progress' went on through at least December 1918 at Remington (longer at Winchester) - and the 'beginning of month' serial number for December 1918 is estimated to be 600,000.
