Our Assessment: This Winchester Model 1917 was made about 100 yrs ago. It has since been dropped into a custom stock with hand checkering and has had its barrel cut back to 24 inches. It has marital markings including “flaming bombs” and “eagle heads” that add to the historical value of the rifle. Luckily the bore is still strong and should be able to put tons of .30-06 downrange. Please see our photos and good luck!
