Was the Winchester M1917 made in 1958 for sportsmen and is there information on this anywhere?
I can't find any reference showing that Winchester made any M1917's for anyone besides the US government. However, it would be a good action to use if you wanted to build a custom hunting rifle.
What is the maximum range in meters for the 9mm?
Depends on which 9mm. If you mean the M9 pistol in use by the US military, it is listed as having a max EFFECTIVE range of 60 meters- bullet can travel about 960 meters. Other 9mm weapons, such as carbines, would have a longer effective and max range.
Did the English ever make mauser rifles?
Sort of. They never manufactured the Mauser under license, but the Pattern 14 Enfield rifle was essentially an unabashed and slightly modified copy of the Mauser Gewehr 98, chambered in the British 7.7x56R/.303 cartridge, with a good portion of these rifles being manufactured in the US under contract. This same rifle was reworked to accept the US 7.62x63/.30-06 cartridge, and pressed into US service as the M1917 rifle, of which more were actually manufactured than the Springfield 1903.
