Hi All,
Any information welcome, I owned a P17, as refurbished by the arsenal? originally a Remington P17 made in 1917, I did nothing but clean it, shoot it and sell it.
So today's story, I've been looking for a WW1 Winchester made P14, that I could afford and didn't have a burnt out or cut down barrel, you all know this story.
Well I finally found one, lot's of little bits missing, but mostly original. It appears to be a No1 1914 made into a No1 star in 1917 the date of refurb on the Barrel.
It came with what's left of the Fatso stock, which I love, but I know their almost impossible to find in Canadaicon. I see the ones on Gun broker right now, but he won't even answer an email.
What was the reason for fitting a fatso to some, the rear sight is the only in-correct part, but still marked W but not matching the only part that doesn't, otherwise all numbers match.
I'm picking up a used regular stock tomorrow, non Winchester un-marked, but what the deal with the stock differences please, and when was the fine adjustment sights fitted, is this the reason mines swapped out. Thanks again for any help.
