Unique example of a WWI 1917 bolt action rifle that subsequently was most likely arsenal converted into a training model, cutaway at the stock and receiver to reveal the internal mechanisms for training. The barrel is marked "W/flaming bomb/1-18"; however, the manufacturer's name has been partially cut through to expose the locking lug area. The wood cuts are both on the left side with a 2 1/2 inch gap exposing the sear and trigger assembly, and a 1/2 inch gap below the receiver ring. The receiver has a 2 inch cut out of the right side of the receiver wall and rear sight protector. The upper right quadrant of the receiver ring has been cut out, a small oval ahead of the safety switch exposing the spring, and a 2 1/2 inch oval is cut into the bolt, exposing the firing pin and spring. All other features are standard.
