Up for sale is an exceptional, highly collectible U.S. Model of 1917 manufactured by Remington (Serial #188556). The main battle rifle that carried roughly three-quarters of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) under General Pershing through the trenches of World War I, this historic piece remains in stunning condition. Stamped with a correct and matching 3-18 barrel date beneath the iconic Remington "R" mark and Ordnance flaming bomb, it features crisp, clear inspector cartouches across the metalwork, including prominent flaming bomb proofs on the receiver, barrel, and bolt handle. The metal finish shows rich, dark Parkerizing with minimal wear, complemented by a walnut stock that retains its deep, natural grain. Mechanically, the bolt cycles with a butter-smooth action, lockup is tight, and the bore is brilliant, shiny, and clean with strong, sharp rifling remaining. Featuring its original ladder rear sight with protective wings and 'R' marked front sight post, this textbook example of WWI military history is fully intact, operational, and an absolute must-have anchor piece for any serious U.S. military surplus collector.
