I would wager that the gun was restocked by the factory after the mid 20s. The style of the stock and checkering (and buttplate) are of that later period. Not 1917.
If you swing the guard tang aside, you MAY find a large “R” with the serial number. I have observed this many times on Factory replacement stocks.
