Hello Patrick, i see that like me, you get around on these forums! Thanks for the continually useful and educating posts. Now to business; mine has the asterisk on the top of the chamber and on the bolt extractor. I know this may be incorrect, but I had always been told that the asterisk was indeed denoting of a lengthened and strengthened bolt but that it had been a sort of conversion that most rifles underwent. I have only seen a precious few without the stamping and they seem to sell for very high. Perhaps you could shed some light on this? Additionally, the receiver on my P14 has a two stamped just a few centimeters above the asterisk; any idea of its meaning? Additionally, Though mine has gone through Weedon repair, I am restoring it to WWI configuration (I just love volley sights) as it does not have the stock neck cartouche (probably faded away) and one can't readily check the barrel date. The replacement volley sights are supposed to arrive today so perhaps I'll put pictures up once I install them and get her going.Information
