This is a picture of the rack grade M1917 I just recieved from the CMP. I was mad hat I missed the service grades and took a chance since the description of the rack gradces was pretty bleak. The picture doesn't do it justice, it's an Eddystone built in 6-1918 and has the original 5 groove barrel. The finish is 90% plus and the wood is very tight and has no dents or dings, I'm hoping to find some cartouche's after I clean it up. The tag had it listed as a rack grade due to the bore, and you could look down it and see all kinds of crap so I set to it with MPro 7 and my Otis kit. It took a whole day and almost a full pack of Otis patches but it is now mirror bright and has sharp rifling. The muzzle crowning is perfect. I don't have a muzzle gauge but it does better on the "bullet" test than my service grade Garands. I guess the CMP Gods were smiling on me because this is an almost perfect rifle that is that is 87 years old that I got for $350. I haven't shott her yet but I'm sure that it will shoot better than I do.
