The U.S. Rifle Model of 1917, chambered in .30-06 Springfield, was developed to meet WWI equipment shortages, ultimately outnumbering the M1903 Springfield. It features a 46.25-inch length, 9.2 lbs weight, and a 6-round capacity with a Mauser-style bolt action that cocks on closing. Production innovations, like part-time positions at Winchester, accelerated output but caused interchangeability issues. Post-war, the M1917 action influenced later civilian rifle designs.
