The effective range of the US M1917 Enfield rifle is typically considered to be around 500 to 600 yards for accurate shooting. With skilled marksmen, it could be effective at longer distances, up to 1,000 yards, but this would require ideal conditions and proficiency. The rifle's design and caliber contributed to its reliability and performance in combat situations during World War I and beyond.

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.
Who made a 30-06 rifle with an imperial seal on the bolt X'ed out?
Please send photos of this rifle and markings to my email at burningsaviour@wikianswers.comWithout a more detailed description, it's difficult to say. I believe what you might have is an M1917, which was transferred to the British for use by the Home Guard. These typically have a red stripe on the buttstock (which may have become faded out or removed) to distinguish them from the Enfield P'14 rifles (which were chambered in 7.7x54R/.303 British).At the onset of the First World War, the British were in need of rifles. Manufacturers in the United States were contracted to manufacture what was basically an unabashed copy of the Mauser Gew98. When the United States entered the war, they were also in need of rifles. The P'14 rifle was redesigned to accept the US .30-06 cartridge and accepted into US service as the M1917, and actually ended up being manufactured in greater numbers than the M1903 (which was the standard service rifle of the US at the time).If what you have an M1917, it should be marked with Remington, Winchester, or Eddystone (Eddystone was a subsidiary of Remington).
