There are scads of posts and info on this rifle and Wiki has more...Just do a search on Google...?

It's worth bearing in mind the term ".303" traditionally refers to the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) Mk III or Mk III* rifles, so if you say you're looking for a"Full Wood .303" most of us are going to assume you're looking for an unsporterised SMLE. Having said that, the Pattern 1914s are nice rifles and from the same era (WWI) as the SMLE, so they have quite a story of their own to tell too.

As browningautorifle observes, there's heaps of information on the Pattern 1914 here, otherwise the Wikipedia page on the Pattern 1914 Enfield would be an excellent place to start as an overview.

"The US Enfield" by Ian Skennerton is still the definitive work. Lots of info there that is not online anywhere.
