.303

Description

Mint & Matching with intact Volley Sights! Available for immediate purchase is this all matching example of a WW1 P14 correctly chambered in .303 which is in mint condition including retaining the volley sights & Unit disc! The Pattern 14 was designated the P.14 Mk I & was intended to replace the Enfield No.1 MkIII but WW1 came along & for obvious reasons Great Britain chose not to switch rifles during a war. When the US entered the war in 1917 they were severely understocked with Springfield 1903’s so arranged for the three US factories then making the P.14 for the Brit’s to modify the rifle to chamber the 30-06 which then became famous as the Model of 1917 (M17). The majority of rifles taken to France by the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) were M.17’s. The P.14 saw service in both WW1 & WW2. In 1926 the Pattern 1914 Enfield was re-designated by the British military as the No.3 Mk1 & many were issued to the Home Guard. These rifles were particularly chosen as the preferred platform for Allied snipers. Of only 1,235,293 rifles made by the three manufacturers, Remington ERA manufactured just 400,000 exactly. This rifle is in excellent original condition as seen in the photos with the usual marks from service on the stock which can be seen in the photos. The metal work is great with no rust or pitting & it has plenty of finish left. We think the wood has had a coat of something at some stage & bore is very good so a shooter. A P.14 is a must have for your .303 collection but one which is absolutely complete is very hard to find & this would definitely have pride of place. These rarely come along in original configuration, let alone matching numbers & the volley sights are the cherry on top! If you think this is for you, don't hesitate. Be quick to be the one who adds this to their collection! Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & these are sold on an as is basis. As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting. Standard shipping is $77 for all for metro shipping bar WA, otherwise call for a cost to your dealer.
