sounds like it could be the scope more than any thing but shoot at 100 yd 5 shot group and see if it groups if if shots dance around on target make shure your mounts are tight there is time that companys send screws for the mounts that are to long for the holes that are taped in the gun the mount mite feel tight but could have play yet witch make your gun not shoot well you could also try setting the scope on 4 power shoot a shot at 50 yards then crank it up to 9 power shoot a shot if bullet impact moves it is the scope hope i helped ya out and good luck
SOURCE: First bullet fires fine but
It's a problem with the motor that creates the pressured air used to launch the bullets. You need to have it changed.
SOURCE: need date of manufacture for Model 1917 rifle SN 4079800
It would depend on if it is an Eddystone (a subsidiary of Remington), Remington, or Winchester.
Don't think it's an Eddystone, as it's outside the serial number range.
Who was the manufacturer?
Military Dates of Manufacture This link will take you to the general web page, select your Eddystone M1917 rifle and enter the number. It says yours was made in November of 1918. The U.S. Army discontinued the use of the M1917 in 1919 after they voted to keep the M1903 as the main service rife due to poor performance in shooting contests. Have fun with that awesome piece of American History and treat her well.
