How is this only slightly off-topic? :)
I opened it thinking it was about Chuck Connors and you had a card of his you couldn't identify

I'll try to help. I tried to send you a PM, but it said that you exceeded your storage capacity. Do you have a pic? Also, are there any markings engraved into it?

i have pics...and there are markings on it...but I'm having issues uploading scans right now.
On the bolt is what looks like a #1...on the safety is a letter E.
There is the # 971183 below the scope...and there is a little picture of what looks like maybe a flame...and K.6 on the barrel towards the chamber.
I deleted my inbox...should be better now Dave.

Guys...it is a US model of 1917 Eddystone...made sept 1918. I believe it was made by remington...atleast the bolt was...the barrel's marks don't seem to jive with what was originally there.
It also appears to be a 30/06.
I'm guessing some of the original parts were changed over the years for use.
Any more help would be appreciated!
