    Default Possible photo of M1917 rifles at Pearl harbor

    This picture came from a USG National Park Service website about the Pearl Harbor attack, it seems to show Marines with M1917 rifles during the attack. The rifles may be 1903 Springfields with front sight covers and they just look like 1917s in the blurry photo. It is my understanding that Marines were never issued M1917s. The bayonets and scabbards look like 1903 bayonets.

    The original Nation Park Service photo Gallery is here http://www.nps.gov/history/history/o...inesrifles.htm
