[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1913691, member: 24284"] The U.S. Model 1917 is a 2 lug bolt action rifle commonly fielded during WW1, as 1903 Springfields were in short supply. They are commonly and mistakenly called an "Enfield". The original design comes from the Pattern 1914, designed by Enfield, which was manufacture by Remington, Winchester and the Remington subsidiary Eddystone, for the British Government during WW1. The M1917 was/is a modification of the P1914 for use with the US .30/06. Both are beastly strong, Mauser '98 type actions. No worries using one for a .220 Swift or other high pressure cartridges that'll fit in the action. Although, they require extreme and time consuming alterations to be converted into sporters. There has been concerns of the heat treating of the Eddystones . The SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield) is a completely different design and rifle. [/QUOTE]
