THANK YOU for your help !!!!Yep..its been "sporterized"...a common thing in the 50's - 80's.
Not always a bad thing considering the time period and how common former military rifles once were.

I sold one of these rifles to a friend for very little and took him to my range after he put a scope on it. The old war horse shot two touching and the third off an inch or so at 100 yds. He sent me a picture of his bedding work today.Not seeing it . May have been altered ?? Front sight may be on top of it now ??

Discussion here about another out-of-range Remington 1917 serial number.
Remington M1917 Serial Number (High serial number)
Hello, New to the forum and hoping someone can help me with a date of manufacture on an M1917. I inherited the gun from my father and my recollection is that it was given to him by my aunt in the late 60's early 70's as a birthday gift. The gun was sort of a "finish it yourself" sporterized...www.milsurps.com
