When the US entered WWI it was desperately short on 1903 rifle. Luckily several US companies were finishing up production of British Pattern 14 rifles for the British war effort. It was decided best to modify the P-14 design to fire the .30-06 cartridge from the .303 British. While the 1903 remained the primary service rifle of the US, production of the Model 1917 far outpaced the 1903 and it is estimated that 3/4 of the American Expeditionary Force had Model 1917's by the armistice.
