Beautiful rifle and with a great bore! I'd love to have one so nice. I have an M1917 Enfield but your Winchester is much nicer. I like how you said they made 465,980 of these and your serial number is 471,792! Must be something there I don't know about their serial numbering. Thanks for sharing. Love Mil Surp firearms.

Well, you got me on that one.  Grabbed the total production number off the Wikipedia and evidently you can't believe everything you read.  I love it and have gotten used to the forward cocking mechanism.  I'll definitely have to check sources better next time.  I do know that Winchester produced the fewest of the contracted 1917's.
