The Danes and Norwegians both used this rifle right up until recently by their version of the Canadian Rangers. They often replaced the excellent for long range, issue aperture rear sight for a simple notched barrel mounted sight for quick short range use against up close or charging Polar bears. They also notched the receiver out to accept their longer and heavier bullet weight bear defense issue ammo on stripper clips.
Interesting article, but some facts are mixed up. Only the danes used the M1917 for their rangers. Norway did a trade with the british around 1952. The brits got all of Norways .303 Lee Enfields, and in return we got M1917's in 30-06. The notches on the receivers were made in Norway. The army wanted to use the same stripperclips as the K98K (witch doesn't fit the 1917 very well), so an adaptor was installed. This moved the whole clip a bit forwards, thus the notch. Norway sold some 26000 M1917's to Denmark in the late 50's, that's why some danish rifles have the notches. There is no such thing as a longer polarbear bullet. You often see the longer bullet theory on the internet, to explain the notches.
The peepsight is no good in wind and snow. It would be packed with snow in seconds. That's why the danes replaced the sights on the "Greenland" rifles.
