Your rifle is chambered for the 30-06 cartridge. And your serial number is very close to the total produced by Eddystone. One source (Book of Rifles - Smith/Smith) says production stopped on 9 November 1918, but your rifle date disputes that. Eddystone made 1,181,908 rifles and the 12-18 date on your rifle would correspond with production figures and times. This facility was run by our General Thompson, the same man that developed the Thompson Sub-machine gun. by a facility that was set up specifically to make this rifle. Your rifle was made by Eddystone (controlled by Remington) in Eddystone Penn. Not because the rifle itself is unusual, but because it's original military which is not found very often today.
