The M1917 Enfield, formally named "United States rifle, cal .30,
Model of 1917" was an American modification of the British .303
caliber P14 rifle developed and manufactured from 1917-1918. The
Enfield rifle was noted for several design features. It was
designed with a rear receiver aperture sight, protected by sturdy
"ears," a design that proved to be faster and more accurate than
the typical mid-barrel sight. Future American rifles, such as the
1903-A3 Springfield, M1 and M1 Carbine would all use such receiver
sights. The M1917 sight was situated on an elongated receiver
bridge, which added weight to the action, as well as lengthening
the bolt. The M1917 action proved very strong, and was used as the
basis for a variety of commercial and gunsmith-made sporting rifles
in standard and magnum calibers between the world wars and after.
Today, the Enfield is used as a ceremonial and drilling rifle. For
battle purposes, the Danish still use the M1917 as a service weapon
due to the high reliability of the bolt-action rifle in harsh
conditions. Created in 1942, this field manual reveals a great deal
about the M1917's design and capabilities. Intended as a field
manual for operation and maintenance, it details gun assembly,
marksmanship techniques, accessories, and much more. Originally
labeled restricted, this manual was declassified long ago and is
here reprinted in book form. Care has been taken to preserve the
integrity of the text.
