We found this little guy in the Springfield Armory National Historic Site.


"This is one of a number of items the SpringfieldArmory Museum received in 1920 from Captain J.L. Aney. Captain Aney was stationed in Europe with the Ordnance Department and assigned to the "Captured Material Section" in WWI.


Aney was ordered to secure items for the Springfield Armory Museum. This weapon is listed on the Receiving Report as Item No. 155 and is described as: "American Enfield magazine carbine model1917. This gun is of extreme interest since it has been cut down in the field to fit it for trench warfare." 


Received 3/24/20.

I wonder if this 1917 carbines would be as unpleasant to shoot and ineffective as the first german carbines 98 (1900-1905). They are about the same size...

Sounds like any of us would have liked to have Captain Aney's job.

Joseph A Feather

Yeah, it's a lot better than actually being in the trenches.

John Hayworth

How often were ad-hoc conversions of long rifles like this done during World War 1?
