I wonder if that one is a suppressor...
That rifle looks darn right svelte with that barrel length.
Might be a fun project for the next chopped down 1917 I run across.
Do I see it correctly that the rifle is shortened too?
Is the thread 1/2" UNF? If so, that could be for a supressor, as that is/was the standard British thread for that use.
The barrel diameter of a P14 at that point is about .600" so 1/2" threads seems about right. However, the length of the threaded section is seemingly about the same as the diameter or 1/2". So, with seven threads showing, that makes either 1/2-13 NC or 1/2-14 NPT. A little more coarse than 20TPI. And yes, I have way too much spare time today. Tom
