Hi gang.
Was in the gunshop today with a friend while he picked up a Star BM, and was checking out the milsurps. Amongst them was a Remington 1917 in .30-06. Peep sights, good looking furniture with a few scratches, not bad though. Pretty clean and the blueing looked good. Did not have a chance to check out the bore, though.
Anyway, with a price tag of 250 bucks it is hard to pass up. Should I?
Also if anyone could provide a brief history of this rifle it would be appreciated.
I think I am in love.
Edit: There was another with some carving on the stock, and different sights, but similar condition. The barrell also seemed a little shorter as well...advice welcom.
Thanks,
Maurice
