Discovered this recently, a Danish military dog sled unit still uses the M1917 rifle along with the Glock 20 10mm handgun. Pretty impressive for a rifle that saw heavy action in WW1, saw some action in WW2 and many other small wars .

I have two a Remington and a Winchester, would like to get a Eddystone one day to have the three manufactures. Shot my Winchester the last couple weekends, it was shooting low and tested a couple brands of ammo, yesterday on a windy day did get it shooting in the black at 100 yds using the ladder sight.
I haven't gotten great groups from the Winchester yet, my Remington does better but it is a fun gun to shoot I like the feel and sights of it.
