    Interesting note: I have a bayonet for the M1917 that is incorrectly stamped M1918. Only about 2000 of these made it out of the factory in 1918 before the Army inspectors made them change the stamp back to M1917 because that is the model code and not a date stamp. Snicks on the rifle real nice.

    Gentle Friend Jeff_Tea, how close can you come to the Mad Minute with the M1917?

    Waldo, we attempted this recently with (8) active Army Soldiers out behind the shop. One of the guys rifle kept jamming so we had to repeat the mad minute about 7 times. Ran out of ammo before the end. So need more practice.

    lol These AR guys don't have an idea what skill is. I think the record was well over 30 rounds I'll have to see if I can find something on it.

    Just to be clear none of the mil surp bolt action rifles jammed during the mad minute of fire.

    The Enfield had the reputation for being as slick as they come. Of course, there was a bit less recoil with the 303 Enfield vs the 30-06
