There is probably some kernel of truth to all of them. But the fact remains; there is no original, single, totally accurate database of serial numbers from 1866 forward that we are aware of. But perhaps these pages can help you somewhat in your research.

I know this thread is 3 years old, but I recently acquired a 1911 (1912 production) and wondering what the letter A above the serial number is, and the number 17 inset in the diamond is for?
Three companies made M1917 rifles, the Winchester company made the fewest with a total production of 465,980. According to the Springfield Research Service Serial Numbers book Volumes 3 and 4: serial number 295360 was issued on 8/21/1918 to Company F, 124th Infantry Regiment, and serial number 295361 was issued on 8/26/1918 to Camp Wheeler, GA. So close to the actual serial number you needed!
It would be very difficult to trace it to an individual soldier. If you could get the unit information from the Springfield Research service ( they do provide information for a fee) assuming your serial number was in their files. Then you could try the unit records for that particular unit but most often there would not be a record to an individual soldier, just " 70 rifles issued to Company A, 1st Infantry Regiment on such and such a date"
Unfortunately, I could not find your serial number in the books I have. The closest I could find was 71390 which was part of a large shipment of Winchesters sent to Camp Humphries on October 4, 1918, your weapon was not part of that shipment. The serial number is fairly low so it was likely issued during WWI.
My source is the Springfield Research Service(SRS) books "Serial Numbers of U.S. Martial Arms" volumes 1-4. These books were published by the SRS in the late 1990s. They are useful, but far from comprehensive list of serial numbers. Only a small percentage of serial numbers are listed.
I could not find your specific serial number listed, the closest was 328473 ( a Winchester) which on August 15, 1918 was part of an "Interchange" test of May and June production models. ( A test of weapons to make sure all parts were interchangeable)
I could not find your specific number listed in the Springfield Research Service books, others nearby ( 218677,218750 and 218866) were all issued in August 1918 to several Infantry Regiments the 121st, 122nd and 123rd Inf Regts. So the likelihood is that yours was also issued in August 1918 to a US Infantry Regiment.
You've seen my replies above, there is more limited info on the 1917 in the Springfield books than some other weapons. Your's is a low number, Winchester produced 465,980 total M1917's. However, the only numbers I could find which were close are:
Winchester factory records cover manufacture from 1873 into the mid-20th century. Records availability and content varies throughout production. Find the full list of available Winchester models and serial number ranges here (Winchester on pages 3 and 4).
Configuration records are available for most firearms manufactured between 1873 and approximately 1906 depending on the model. Configuration information may include caliber, barrel type, trigger type, and any special-order features. Customer data is rarely available for Winchesters. Serial number application date information will be included when available.
Most Winchester records for firearms manufactured after 1906 to the end of the surviving records only contain dates of manufacture. These date-of-manufacture records are called Serial Number Application (SNA) records. SNA records are available for many of the earlier Winchesters and are automatically included in those serial number searches and factory letters.

Pre-64 model 70s are commonly classified into one of three production groupings, framed around WWII. These groups are "pre-war" and "post-war", with a small number of rifles between these two groups referred to as "transition" rifles. In Winchester parlance, these three groupings of rifles are referred to as "Type I", "Type II" and "Type III" rifles.
The cross reference below provides an estimated production date by serial number, based on model 70 polishing room room records. Polishing room records documented when each receiver was polished and are the most complete model 70 records in existence. However, polishing was just one step in production, and not the final step. As a result, the polishing room dates somewhat precede the date each rifle was completed and ready to leave the factory. The list below is based on polishing room records, but adjusted based on other available information to provide a very close estimation of when any given rifle left the Winchester factory.
