    Shooting a P14 for the first time

    Sorry is this question seems novice but I must ask, I got a P14 a while back, I know it only holds five rounds but do I need to use a clip like I do in my other Enfields? I'd rather ask than jam stuff in there! Thanks in advance for your help. Any and all input/mockery is welcome!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Just feed them in one at a time, keeping the cartridges towards the rear of the magazine. See how you did by cycling the bolt until the mag is empty. If they all feed well, then you done good!

    It works either way, single feed or using a stripper clip.

    If by "clip" you mean the detachable lee-enfield box magazine, then no.

    he meant to say a "charger" to load the magazine box , he pointed out he was a novice so i read between the lines :>}
    the info provided is good , id try the single approach - i have with mine , it worked fine , ive not had trouble with the rims missaligning in any of my enfields but i generaly only put a couple-three in at a time so not sure about a full charge ,
    BTW in an M1917 you can get six in there just because of the lack of those pesky rims
