British Pattern 1914 rifle altered to 7.92mm Mauser caliber

[breakeyp]

After WWI, BSA Co. was contracted by the British Government to dispose of various war surplus items who formed Soley Armements Co. to sell small arms. Soley partnered with a Belgian gunsmithing firm to convert Pattern 1914's to 8mm Mauser for hoped sales in China. This is about all anyone knows about Soley. The Pattern Room has a number of modified rifles by Soley trying to get Government orders. This is a wide open area for research. Hint, Hint. Note proofs just at edge of handguard.
