They sound like P-14's. One made by Winchester, one by Eddystone. Doubtful they were sniper rifles. Maybe, probably not. P-17's were in 30-06. Go to the Photo and Video Gallery and read the sticky on how to post pics. Its not that complicated and you will get a lot more info from the experts. Otherwise you just get this:
No sentences where you are?
Posting pictures would most assuredly help. Neither rifle is an antique.
"...both registered as Enfields..." They are Enfields. Just not Lee-Enfields. Designed in England, built in the States. No Pattern 14 rifles made by either Winchester or Remington/Eddystone in 1913 though.

Info about the .30-06 Pattern 17(AKA the American Enfield) is here. http://www.surplusrifle.com/m1917/index.asp
