My first P14...

[fernleaf]

Bought this today at a local swap meet. It didn't really 'talk to me', but when I heard the sellers price (NZD$350 - USD$270), I listened and promptly bought it. It wasn't really the example I was looking for (NZ marked and still in original configuration), but it will do me for now as a shooter.

Bad things:- the stock is pretty dark, battered about and dinged up, but I can live with that.
Good things:- apart from having a trip to Weedon at some stage in its life, its in all matching original condition. 1917 dated barrel.









The seller reckoned it was a 'solid 9 out of 10 bore'. Hmm... I'd say closer to 7, but still pretty good. I tried taking some fancy down the tube photos but this is the best I could get. The photo makes the bore look worse than it really is.



I drove from the swap meet to the Rifle Club and put it through its paces. It shot 3-4MoA, which I was happy with. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me - maybe next time...
