This video explores the history and modification of the M1917 Enfield rifle, specifically focusing on its use as a hunting rifle in Greenland. Originally a Danish military rifle chambered in .30-06, many were sold as surplus and subsequently sporterized by the Greenland Trade conglomerate. The modifications involved removing the rear aperture sight, adding a dovetailed open notch sight, installing a new front sight, and grinding off the bayonet lug. The M1917 also has a significant history with the Sirius Patrol in Greenland, a force still in operation today. The example featured was originally manufactured in 1917 and served with the Canadian military before its journey to Denmark and eventual sale.
