The M1917 was used by rear echelon US troops overseas but generally used states side. The Army at this point contracted RIA, High Standard (HS) and Johnson Automatics (JA) for new barrels. These barrels were used up in the replacement, Additionally US Army Ordnance "built" additional 20,000 rifles from these left over spare parts thereby creating a shortage of new barrels. The US Army Ordnance had a vast number of left barrels from the WWI production of the M1917. Many that were taken out of storage were found to have rusted barrels due to improper preservation of the barrels. Upon the US entry into WWII there was a shortage of. The M1917 was used by the US military as a secondary standard after our entry into WWII.

Later the M1917s were also given under Lend Lease to several of the Allied nations, Chinese and French come to mind. For example after the Battle of Dunkirk and enormous numbers of M1917s were just given to Great Britain this taking place before the Lend Lease program. The answers to your questions can be yes and no depending on the time period and to who the m1917s were shipped. Johnson Automatics barrel would be a WWII rebuild. The action screws were both 'less than finger tight', the stock split at the rear of the inletting for the rear tang, forward through the magazine mortise, and a large portion of the recoil lug is broken out. The stock is shot, probably cheaper/easier/less time just to replace with a new sporter type. Were 17's rebarreled and revamped before going over for Lend Lease to Allies, were they retained here in the States for Guard Duty and training? Couple of questions come to mind, though. I 'assume' that the prick punch mark would lend credence to the notion that this was an arsenal or armory installation. I've seen these barrels 'loose', for sale, but not encountered one installed. What was handed to me is a 'sporterized', restocked, US M1917, Eddystone, with rear sight ears removed, all the usual.except this one is wearing a two groove Johnson Arms replacement barrel with a 'prick punch' mark in the Ordnance "Bomb" behind the front sight. Future son in law asked if I'd repair a stock for him, and I had no idea what I was getting into before I agreed.
