I got this one a couple months ago. What caught my eye was the information scrawled on the receiver. Seems this rifle was once assigned to a VFW in UT. Post #49.
Wood looks all original. Nice tight 5-18 barrel with a great bore. I've considered contacting the post(if it's still around) to see if they are interested in the rifle. Otherwise, I will keep it. I haven't even taken it to the range yet. I have one other M17 that is a favorite of mine. It has red paint on the wood, but is mis-matched. Still pretty cool. Here you go.
