P-14 bayonets work just fine on my 17's, I have several of both and they will all work on my rifles and my kids as well.
A huge bunch of our early "1917" bayonets were just redirected bayonets for P-14's, they just stamped out the British markings.

By that time all the No.3 rifles that were going to be made had been and most of them were stamped "P-14" on the stock. So the popular vernacular retained the use of the British Pattern Room designation. In the mid 20's the British placed it in its rightful place with an official nomenclature No. 3 Mk1 *. The sniper versions were similarly redsignated (but not necessarily remarked) as Rifle No.3 Mk 1* (T) or Rifle No. 3 Mk 1 (T) A depending on whether they were equipped with an M1918 or Aldis telescopic sight. :thup:
The Rifle No. 1 Mk 3 is the classic Lee Enfield also known as the SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield). While the Mk 3 is probably the most widely available variant there were a number of other marks and variations in the Rifle No.1 series.
