Comments by "TheGoldenCaulk" (@thegoldencaulk2742) on "Q&A #15: Disappointing Guns, 7.92x41 CETME, and 1873 Revolvers" video.
Yeah, "P17" seems to have manifested itself out of knowledge of the P14 rifle, but I wondered if perhaps there was an internal designation used by Winchester, Remington, or Eddystone that referred to the M1917 as "P17." It appears Winchester called it the M/17 or G17R, but never the P17. Either way, in all likelihood it was conjured up as a faster way to say M1917. I don't mind the misnomer as much as other collectors, since if you google "P17 rifle" you get the M1917 and nothing else.
