It does seem though from initial inspection that the sight would be at least partially less canted if the other mark was used.

I have privi 174 grain ammo for it. I’m sorry I don’t have time to shoot whenever- I’m doing my MA degree and I also teach/work and the nearest place for me to shoot is an hour away. I will shoot it...

I find it all fascinating. Certainly fun while completing my MA in history! What do you make of the barrel 16' date marking and serial number? A force matched 1916 barrel? Since the barrel serial...

This picture shows the 16 date stamp on the barrel.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification- the only reason I was hesitant on shooting it was after learning it could be a mashup gun. My preliminary attempts at seeing if the sight is canted indeed...

What are you referring to- what do you mean “imagined problem”? I was not going to be unsafe and just hope for the best. This post started because I was curious as to why the front sight is canted to...

OK so I took some pictures. A star on the top of the receiver, a star on the extractor but cannot see an actual star on the bolt body? The bolt number matches, although this could be force matched?...

The key way cut itself seems level as the key sits flush in the groove. As far as the key in relation to the witness mark on the bottom of the barrel and receiver, it is several degrees off to the...

Just to update- I have ordered 40 rounds of privi .303 174 grain rounds (I like their cases for reloading) and will see how it shoots before taking further action, although I did get the front sight...

I just thought the mark on the receiver looked deeper and therefore wider, but if it is two then I would assume it was done for a reason... as far as the font goes I wouldn’t know- matching numbers...

The serial number between receiver and barrel match- 304481. I’m not seeing a double witness mark- only one on receiver and one on barrel- and they look to line up- where are you seeing the second...

here is one more

Here are some pics- sorry for the quality- it was extremely difficult to get my phone to focus on the whole rifle to be able to see the cant of the front sight. Now if I could only remove that front...

I’m not set up to rotate the barrel myself- difficult id imagine? I’ll get pics up shortly.

I was thinking the milling might be off, as the front sight blade is staked in place fairly offset to compensate for the sight base being canted. The sight assembly does not appear to be bent in any...

Rather than scope it, I would rather fix the front sight. I would assume a gunsmith could do it. I think I will see how it shoots before I do anything. It seems to be a proper British rifle, as it...

Thanks for the replys- do the witness marks on the bottom of the barrel and received matching up not mean anything? I removed the handguard- if you mean the serial number is in line with the serial...

Hello everyone, I just purchased a numbers matching Remington P14 rifle. It has its original stock with front and rear volley sights and a 1916 dated matching barrel. Everything on the rifle is fine...
