We have a few M1917 Enfield rifles left chambered in .30-06 Springfield. These rifles are in fair condition. These rifles came directly from Ethiopia after being in storage for many decades. Overall condition is generally fair. Bores are generally fair. The M1917 Enfield rifles saw use in World War I, World War II, and many other subsequent conflicts. This is an incredibly rare chance to get ahold of a beautiful piece of history!
These M1917s are surplus rifles so expect dents, dings, scratches, possible gouges, bluing/parkerizing wear, minor cracks etc… certainly a solid NRA surplus fair on the grading scale. Original metal finish is between 10-50% depending on each firearm. Please note the photos are of a very good condition rifle. The remaining rifles will have more surface finish wear, wood handling marks, etc.
We have all three manufacturers available; Eddystone, Winchester, and Remington. Most are Eddystone and Remington.

5 reviews for M1917 U.S. Rifle, Cal .30-06

Hi there,
I received my P17, yesterday and have to say that I am impressed with the quality.
Taking the age and different theatres where it has served into consideration I did not expect that it would in such a good, used condition. Honestly, no one can expect to find new ones anymore after 80 years anywhere in the world.
I read several reviews about RTI and was at first a little sceptic but truth to be told my experience was much better than expected. They are very friendly and even connected me with the owner for specific questions I had.
We have to give these guys credit for all they went thru to bring such a rare lot of goodies home.
So, keep up the good work and carry on since I will order many more toys from you!

Requested “Hand Select Bore & Overall Condition” and received a Remington.
It was filthy as expected, but retains much finish and has a decent bore with strong rifling. The stock has a few small gouges but considering it’s 103 years old and was poorly stored, it’s in good shape.
Unfortunately, headspace may be an issue. The bolt closes on a NO-GO gauge. I’d like to give the rifle 4 or 5 stars but with the headspace being questionable, I can only give it 2.
FOLLOW UP
I tried a FIELD gauge and it failed too. I did however notice the bolt was very worn in comparison to the rest of the rifle. The worn bolt is not original to the rifle. I tried a different bolt and it passed. Replacing the bolt body was a minor issue and I’m pleased with my rifle.
It’s noteworthy to mention RTI contacted me in response to my original review and offered to replace the rifle. Though I did not accept their gracious offer, their desire to ‘make things right’ is refreshing. Kudos RTI.

Just received mine, took it apart and was expectedly dirty. The bore looks amazing my example I paid a little extra for the hand select bore.

I ordered an Endfield P17 Eddystone hand select. Received it on December 3rd. I was very pleased with it. Bore is shinny and most parts are marked with the “E”. I see 2 flaming bombs. I did notice an old repair on the extractor and contacted RTI and they forwarded me a replacement. Very easy to deal with. Rifle has a lot of character and of course it needs a good cleaning. This is the second rifle I have ordered from RTI and have been very pleased with both.
