"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

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.)
