8 months ago got a Remington P14 (later renamed No. 3) British rifle in .303 British. Yesterday picked up a second Rem. P14. Gun was made during WWI and later when the USA entered the war rechambered in .30-06 as the Model of 1917. Three companies produced both chamberings, Winchester, Remington and Eddystone (sub Remington). Original guns had a volley sight mounted on the left side. Brits removed them sometime in the 30s. These two retain their volley sights, ladder sights and battle peep sights. So it seems that the British Govt gave these guns to the Afghan troops after WWI (British backed) Around Dec broke the firing pin/striker tip on gun #1 and acquired a striker assembly off a M1917 here that was demilled. Normally the two parts are not identical and add to the fact that the M1917 was a Khyber Pass copy. Have a replacement enroute from SARCO. Just took #2 to the range and hit steel from 150 yds with some unmarked ammo. Serial numbers on the two guns are 6060 difference (416xxx/422xxx)
Volley sights on left side of gun, ladder sights (SN on backside) and battle peep.
