I don't think that there's the value or interest in the Model 1917 to warrant anyone making a 'replica'. What you may have is a "sporterized" 1917.
Check out the specs here:

Also go to the forums and ask under the 1917 section. Those guys know it all about your rifle.
Also, take a look at this pic. Does your rifle have this on it?

If it does it's a P1917 rifle. It was designed by the British armory at Enfield and made by contract to various US gun makers. When the US entered WWI, they didn't have enough 1903 Springfields to arm our soldiers so they adopted and used all the Enfields that US companies were making for the Brits. It was quite a good rifle for the time but Americans snobbishly looked down on it for it's British roots. They are gaining in collector value as long as they are unmodified. No wyhere near the price for a 1903 or even M1. Hard to put a value on it because it all depends on condition. $50 to $800 (for a perfect and rare specimen).

I have a 30-06 Browning A Bolt with BOSS topped with a Leupold scope. Its a very accurate rifle and has never let me down. I have seen a lot of Remington 700's that shot excellent also. Personally I enjoy the fact I can tune my barrel to whatever load I choose rather than tuning my load to match my barrel.

Go to Wikipedia or a general search and enter:
"United States Rifle, cal .30, Model of 1917" The stamping on the receiver will tell where it was made (ex. Eddystone - as in Eddystone, Pennsylvania ....one of Remington's plants at the time)

go to Remington's website and repeat what you just typed along with serial numbers and any other identifying features they will quickly answer your e-mail and you are off to a good start
