p14/17 pos
hello to all members out there.I am a brand new member with an old problem. I traded a man at our local gun show for a p17,the only problem is that after a good long look I'm not sure what I have. The reciever has British marks on the left side and only a single E on the right. The 15xxx serial number is on a blued reciever but the barrel appears parkerized. The front sight does not look centered when I aim this rifle. There is also a w stamped on the muzzle end of the stock. My question to anyone is this,is this gun safe to shoot or have I got a bunch of mismatched parts? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

no such gun as a P17...however...sounds like you have a hodge podge of parts, M1917,s were usually marked Eddsytone, Remington or Winchester, unless they are very early...also sound like someone has rebarreled it, and didnt know what they were doing..pictures would help..sounds like a P14 that someone tried to convert to 30-06..
pictures would help....welcome to the forum.
