Ugly duckling..

Who here is into 1917's?

I LOVE them! I had a Winny, bought it for $50 back in '85, sold it a couple years later for $125, wish I had one today. The last one I saw at a show was $950. It's going to be hard if I decide to do a military rifles collection.

Been thinking about one for a future project, but still up in the air.......

[m14brian]

I've always thought about getting another myself, it's a ghost that won't go away.

I always kinda liked them better than '03s, but I'min the minority I'm sure.

Here is a photo of a Model 1917 rifle with a Pedersen Device, not two many were converted. Besides
the Model 1903 rifle, there was also another rifle converted, anyone know what other rifle ?

I knew about the Mk1 03 what surprised me was the M17. But I haven't a clue about the third rifle??

[SFCDave]

I believe the third rifle is the P-14?

[RCS]

The third rifle converted to use the Pedersen Device was not the Enfield P-14 nor any Lee Enfields.

It was the Remington manufactured Mosin Nagant 1891 rifle

note the Pedersen magazine is inserted in the left side

I knew Remington made Mosin Nagant rifles for the Czar but I'm really surprised they tried a Pederson conversion too boot.

Quick question? when was that picture taken it looks like 1950's sometime? Its the haircut, sunglasses and shooting coat that don't look 1920's

photo shows Wm Edwards firing his Mosin-Nagant with Pedersen Device in 1968

I love them even though I find them hideous,they just "feel right" in my hands.I usually take out the 1917 over My '03's.

I just picked one up, stole it actually, $300.00 shop had a lot of 5, its a Remington, I have it apart on my bench now cleaning the old grease, cant wait to fire it.
