Oh yes there is! I bought one. Over here you get nothing else!

And when was the last time anyone referred to the "U.S. Model of 1917", as stamped on the P17 receivers?

"Love the fiddleback walnut in the Long Lee wood!"

Me too, even if those irritated by "P17" ought to protest against the non-official designation "Long Lee".

I can nit-pick with the best of them, if it is appropriate in cases of doubtful authenticity. Otherwise, I too prefer to enjoy the rifles.

So, dances with gophers - which is the best shooter?
I have to say the Us Model of 1917. :-) is the more accurate of the 2, nice tight grouping even with my tired ol eyes . maybe the P14 has had more lead down the Barrel, But then i havent fired them that much , I find it more relaxing shooting my .22 trainers.
and easier on the shoulder .
