Remington P14

Description

Matching numbers with intact Volley Sights! The Pattern 14 was designated the P14 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 P14 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 M17's. The P14 saw service in both WW1 & WW2. These rifles were particularly chosen as the preferred platform for Allied snipers. In 1926 the Pattern 1914 Enfield was re-designated by the British military as the No.3 Mk1. Of only 1,235,293 rifles made by the three manufacturers, Remington manufactured just 400,000 exactly. It is matching as far as can be seen with the receiver & bolt visibly matching although the bolt has been forced matched & there are additional numbers also stamped on the rifle. These are likely unit marks or armoury rack numbers. 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. The bore is very good so a shooter. A P14 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. Comes complete with period correct canvas sling which may well be the original as it is completely correct.
