So they put sporting stocks on them and released them to the commercial civilian market. So with the war over in November of 1918, the Eddystone arsenal had a lot of American Enfield rifles on hand that would never make it to the muddy trenches in France. The born on date placed on the end of each barrel of the M1917 American Enfield rifle placed its birthday on the very month the Armistice was signed ending the fighting in Europe. The stock was not the same as the Enfield rifles I’ve seen.Īfter doing some research, I noticed that the serial number put this rifle at the end of the production line for the Eddystone arsenal. Until this point I had never held an American Enfield rifle but I knew from enough pictures I’d seen that this one was a bit different.
