The 1917 Eddystone model is a variant of the U.S. military's M1917 rifle, originally designed for .30-06 Springfield ammunition. If your rifle is chambered in .257 Roberts, it has likely been modified from its original configuration, as the .257 Roberts is a commercial cartridge not used by the military. The "REM" markings you see may indicate that the rifle was manufactured by Remington, which produced the Eddystone variant. Such modifications were not uncommon, as rifles were often adapted for civilian use after their military service.
your eddystone is usually referred to as the model 1917 eddystone in caliber 30/06. your rifle was made in 1918.....................................

The U.S. Model 1917 Eddystone rifle was manufactured during World War I, with production occurring primarily between 1917 and 1918. Eddystone, a division of the Remington Arms Company, produced these rifles to meet the demand for infantry weapons. If you have a specific serial number, the production date can be narrowed down further using available reference materials.
Remington made 646,000 US model of 1917 rifles for the goverment during world war I. Winchester and eddystone also produced rifles for the U S goverment during that time,with eddystone being the largest producer.
The "Model of 1917" is more commonly called the 'P17 Enfield' and was a standard US service rifle in WW-1 and in some arenas of WW-2. Winchester was just one of the makers, others being Remington and the arsenal at Eddystone. Would need to know the complete markings on either rifle to go further. sales@countrygunsmith.net
