Eddystone Model of 1917

[Pilgrim]

Strickland has a VERY nice Eddystone for sale. Wood is beautiful as nice as I've ever seen. Metal is very nice. Good bore - 1918 barrel. Just passing on the info as I know some of you have expressed interest in these before.

If I didn't already have one, I'd buy it. The tag says $550

Tell him Dennis sent you.

Sounds nice, if I was closer I would get it.

I haven't been there in a while and will probably take a ride up there soon.

lighting was bad but it is a 1918 barrel which would be about right for it.

My 1917 Eddystone was one of the first milsurps I bought after getting the C&R license. I still remember the warm, fuzzy feeling I got inside when someone stepped up and said, "Man - you stole that!"

Great battle rifle. I've used it with great success at several military shoots. If you don't have one, get one - before the only things left are the poor specimens returned by the VFW's.

I got my Remington for free from an old family friend who was moving to Hawaii and didn't want to bother. It had been sporterized with a new stock but thankfully nothing else was done to it. $100 later, with a beautiful Eddystone stock from GPC, it was back to original shape, shoots great, and is in great condition.

Still there ! Someone go buy it please. I might have to if you don't and I can't afford it right now !!

I thought about going there today but I'm afraid to go see it.

I can't afford it either unless I can sell off a few like my M39 and a K31 if I can find the rear sight for it.

And the little devil on your shoulder is saying, "Do it, Ray... just do it!"

Actually that little devil got stuck by another who had a Russian SKS with the bayonet extended.
