no problem this is an easy one,,yes it's a us military model 1917 enfield,,these were introduced during the first world war because of a shortage of rifles and were patterened after the british P14 enfields which remington and winchester produced for britan during ww1 but were redesigned for the 30-06 cartridge ,,they were produced by winchester ,eddystone and remington,here in the new configuration and saw service thru ww2 and many were sold to the britts during ww2 for home guard use,,there were around 2200000 produced during 1917+1918 and the majority were made in Eddystone Pa.this is a very popular action for sporter rifles today because of it's strenght and many have been converted to big bore rifles,,your rifle if still in military configuration with full lenght stock would book in the 250-800 range at auction or a private sale ,,dealers would value it at between 250-350 mabey a little more if extra clean,,and as a side note this rifle is the forunner to the model 30 remington sporting rifle.
