I do need to get a front sling part for it. The reason I got it is that my Grandfather used one in WWI he was in the 82ND Division. I hear that they shoot good. A victim is an unarmed citizen .

I have three of them presently, two Eddystones and one Winchester. They all shoot good, but they definately do not like boattailed bullets, so shoot flat base bullets thru them. Curt

But some of the Danish ammo that was on the market a few years ago had boattailed bullets. In a Garand or a 1903/ 1903A3, it shoots wonderful. But in a M1917, it patterns like a shotgun round. Some people disagree with this, but I am convinced, as I have three of he rifles and they are all the same way. Curt

Basically a boat tail bullet is a tad more expensive to manufacture, so it is generally reserved for match grade bullets. As long as a person does not shoot a commercial or military match grade ammunition, there should be zero problems. And, not all military match grade ammunition has a boat tail. Most military match ammunition is nothing more than a carefully assembeled, or unusually consistant lot of ammo. Military match ammo, purposefully assembeled for match use only is still basically "Ball" ammo. The brass, bullets, powder and primers are specifically selected for consistency and carefully assembeled, period. Eric "We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

LOL Smokepole is likely the MOST informed shooter and reloader you'll meet. And he's dead on with that M1917 of his. hsc
