Thanks Guys, that's interesting, I presume the barrel will have a serial number on it, under the woodwork maybe? Thinking back I looked at an M1 carbine a while ago and the only serial number was on the receiver, so I guess the Americans aren't quite as thorough as the Brits. That's an a good point about manufacturer marks on the receiver, some of these guns I have come across seem to have mismatching parts, although I guess this is no surprise if they had a long service life and as it looks like the parts are interchangeable across the 3 makers.
I will check the links out. The serialed bolts were never done by US forces, if your gun has one it was done WW2 era or later, by a country that got lend lease guns. Parts interchangability between the three makers was a huge deal and major delay, but they eventually got it right. For more reading, I would suggest C S Ferris, US Rifle, Model of 1917, which is cheap, available, and very comprehensive. For a grander picture Allied Rifle Contracts by Luke Mercaldo details all Great War era rifle contracts in the US for Europe, and is to my mind one of the best books I have read on the subject.
The M1917 Enfield, the 'American Enfield' (frequently misidentified or mislabeled as the 'P17', 'P1917', or 'Pattern 1917'), formally named 'United States Rifle, cal.30, Model of 1917' was an American modification and production of the British.303 caliber P14 rifle developed and manufactured during the period 1917-1918. The serial number is 925,000 range and the metal is in excellent shape! The wood has the character dings and scratches, but she is a bute.If I didn't already say that. I have a question though, I am a learning person in this area.The make of this rifle is 'Eddystone' U.S.
Both books are readily available, and unlike many, extraordinarily reasonable in price. Thanks 4th Gordons, these rifles don't seem to have been as well documented as SMLE'S and not that many people know about them.
I guess in Britain certainly the SMLE played a bigger part, and I suppose the m1917's were also useful in ww2 with the Home Guard (Although that is going off on a tangent) and as this is a WW1 forum. In the UK, the M1917 played NO part in the Great War at all. They were only used by the UK in WWII. The Stratton book on the P14/M1917.

Although a little dated, is a very good start on that group of rifles. Jimmy I hope the following satisfies your curiousity.
No serial numbers anywhere except the receiver ring. As mentioned above, eagle stamps on small parts. All parts marked with R E or W. Usually a mix, after all these years. Barrels marked with month-year date, and manufacturer letter.
