Thanks again Chris for confirming how you get to the barrel markings. It looks like he could certainly get on with the m1917 but says in his diary extract, that he didn't think the guns were as accurate as the American Rifles.Įither way an interesting rifle which certainly slips under the rader in certain military enthusiasts but at the same time seems to have quite a following, it certainly seems to have some good points. Looks like he was initially a pacifist which is surprising, but then indeed many men who went to fight were really peace loving guys. 30, M1917 by Dick Culver is certainly an interesting paper and it does mention Sergeant Alvin York and some extracts from his personal diary (as member of the AAD), I certainly have plenty of background reading, ![]() It was the P14 that Brits used as a Sniper Weapon then, all cleared up, hopefully I will stop mixing these two rifles up now.
