30, Model of 1917' was an American modification and production of the British. The M1917 Enfield, the 'American Enfield' (frequently misidentified or mislabeled as the 'P17', 'P1917', or 'Pattern 1917'), formally named 'United States Rifle, cal. The '8-18' means the barrel was produced in August of 1918. There is an 'E' above the Ordinance Bomb denoting an Eddystone barrel. The 'E' on the bolt stop denotes Eddystone. This denotes that the bolt is of Winchester manufacturer. There is a 'W' on the bottom of the bolt handle. Is this some sort of marking or damage on the top of the receiver? This gun appears to be all Eddystone with the exception of the bolt, which is Winchester. Got the price in line to what I wanted to pay for it and took it home. I'm calling it my belated birthday present. Picked this up in a gun shop in Buffalo, TX on March 7, 2008.
