    Ugly duckling..

    Who here is into 1917's?

    #2
    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.

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

                The British Lee-Enfield rifle?

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

                    I believe the third rifle is the P-14?

                      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​

                            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.
