They returned from honor guard use.
Remington Model 30a, 30s, and 30r were based on the pattern 14 action barrel action but the sights and stock are different.
They really do not look like the M1917.
2.2 million M1917
made. There less than 100,000 of the model 30's
Made from 1920 to 1940. Americans liked the cocking on opening rather than on closing of the bolt.
