My Eddystone was lonely, so...

Very nice.

The P14/M1917 is my favorite WW1 battle rifle. Fast and slick action, great combat sights, and the M1917 actually holds 6 rounds in the magazine, since the .30-06 isn't rimmed.

I have one of each, both Eddystone.

My M1917 was actually one of the last 10,000ish M1917s produced in January 1919, in the final few days of production. It's a 1,385,XXX serial. Eddystone's January 1919 production starting at serial 1,328,300 and all Eddystone M1917 production ending on January 11th, 1919 with a serial number in the 1,39X,XXX range. (Nobody's sure of the exact final Eddystone M1917 serial number, but it was just short of 1.4 million. For a while, it was believed that the final serial was in the low 1.3 million range, but rifles like mine have helped to disprove that.)
