Small Arms And Sidearms

The M1917 Enfield, known as the American Enfield and formally titled United States Rifle, caliber .30, Model of 1917, is an American adaptation of the British .303 inch Pattern 1914 Enfield rifle, produced from 1917 to 1919 and chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge. It served as the principal rifle of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during the First World War. The Danish Sirius Dog Sled Patrol still uses the M1917 in Greenland because of its reliability in Arctic conditions.
