299 pages. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. 600+ photographs, mostly color. A comprehensive guide to the U.S. Model 1917 "Enfield" battle rifle that is sure to thrill collectors and historians alike. This often overlooked bolt-action was actually the primary Aerican infantry weapon of World War I (far outnumbering the more famous '03 Springfield), and now it has gotten the "Bruce Canfield treatment." More than two million M1917 rifles were produced in less than 19 months, and they were still being stored in large enough numbers to be a significant factor in World War II. Chapters are 1. Forerunners, 2. Genesis, 3. Components, 4. Manufacturers, 5. World War I, 6. Between the Wars, 7. World War II, 8. Postwar, 9. Variations, 10 Accessories, Appendages and Accoutrements. There are four tables that cover WWII and Postwar Rebuild/Inspection Stamps; Winchester Factory Poliching Shop Ledgers; Component Markings; and, Springfield Research Service Data Base Serial Nmbers. An outstanding new reference book. Seller Inventory # 6373
