Just a quick pic of my 1917 from England

So this might be a Canadian rifle? I m happy to know little more about it. What is the hook? Part of the follower?

Does it have a C Broad Arrow?

I've looked it over pretty well and the only mark I can find is a bird(I think) that looks kind of like an Emperor penguin with 339 under it in front of the floorplate.

That's probably an eagle head.

My Canadian M1917 has the Canadian broad arrow on the left side of the receiver, rear of receiver, and buttstock. Give you some spots to look. My red paint is still there but most was cleaned off by someone. Its one of my better shooters.

I have two winchesters that have remnents of red paint. One has the bolt serialized to the receiver. The other has the canadian "C" and broad arrow and "55 RCA" on it.
Both had the followers milled and coil spring ejectors installed. Both are CAI import marked.

I also picked up a 1917 L/L with the same red paint w/30-06, the modified follower and the roll pin for the front sight. Up until this post I was ready to buy a new front sight and follower but I guess I'll hold off on that idea.

Mine has the milled follower as well. Not sure about the ejector spring mod. I'll have to check.

It's a small world.
