M-1917 was the rifle that the doughboys used to win WWI. Without it, the doughboys would likely have ended up with a hodge podge of whatever was available. Just about ideal for the field. Superior sights, rugged action, excellent trigger, just about ideal. Give your rifle a go w/ some 180 gr. flat based spritzers. When I was shooting a 1917, I found that the longer shank of the bullet and the flat base allowed me to shoot better groups. Sincerely. bruce.
