I have an M1917 I picked up at a pawnshop for $150. Don't have a picture of it here, it hangs up at my deer camp for emergency use and occasional practice shooting. Basically got it for the action, and was surprised to learn it had a quality vintage glass bed job under the goofy custom stock. The stock had a crack which I stabilized with 2 ash dowels, epoxy, and an inset wood screw. The darn thing shoots near MOA with my standard Garand load, so rather than harvest the action to build a neat sporter, I ended up with a surprisingly accurate utilitarian rifle that will work in any conditions no matter what. The finish is mostly rust colored parkerizing ( I believe the rifle was re-arsenaled sometime around WWII) showing severe finish wear. The goofy custom stock with a high cheek piece and palm rest pistol grip leads me to believe it was used as a high power match rifle at some point in it's life. It also bears a shadow from a receiver and barrel band front sight, the trigger breaks at a clean 1.7 lbs, and an M1 Garand rear sling stud is installed, lending further creedence to this theory. After this use, somebody professionally drilled and tapped it for a weaver tip-off mount that it still wears. The thing has really seen some love over the last 75 or so years.
It's a real ringer at the local deer camps when we go visiting third weekend and some informal shooting matches with friendly wagers are to be had. The regulars know me and my rifle, and go out of there way to get the new guys to bet against me with their whiz bang new made rifles. It humbled a few 6.5 creeds last year.
