Winchester M1917 at the range

Shooting my new (old) Winchester 1917. A hefty, but balanced rifle that tames the .30-06 cartridge quite well. A treat to shoot!

When the second standard outstrips both of its predecessors.

Meanwhile the frontline French NCO with the Berthier 07/15 and 1892 Ordnance revolver stares longingly at the American conscripts complaining about getting second standard 1917 rifles and revolvers

I've got a P14, same gun but in .303 British caliber. Fine, stunningly accurate rifle.

Definitely a better combat rifle than the M1903 & M1903A3. 🤠

What do you think of the safety of this rifle, especially when compared to other Mauser rifles of its time period?

[@PhoenixPhart]

I quite like it; not in the way and easily manipulated if your hand is near the bolt handle, a good reason a lot of safeties on modern rifles are very similar. Though, not as easily identifiable what position at a glance like the standard flag safety

Time to do a 3-gun, WW1 Style!!

[@TheKoreanDrifter]

God, the ejection is SO straight and forceful lmao Also I've always thought that the "full clip +1" magazine capacity of this rifle was unique and adds to the cool factor. (Or maybe I played too much BF1)
