I have a 1917 (P17) Winchester 30’06 Rifle, the action which a good friend gave me (rifle, barrel etc. no stock).

I waited for years to get an accurate stock for it and finally finished it off.

When putting it together, I noticed by the barrel markings it was re-barreled in November 1918. I’ve always thought about what service the rifle saw before being re-barreled and just where it went from the re-barreling in November 1918.....

It may have been used down here by the 9th or 10th Cav.
