    From the seller; not great quality images. BUT I like the old dark looking wood, however it got that way, God or man.

    I inquired as to the receiver stamp, he responded "RE" in an oval. He said volley sight is, of course, missing. Has been "removed". Told him I would buy a replacement from Numrich and tried to get him to knock it off the price he declined, stating he did not see how it would fit? [I believe he said the rear part (aperture) was there.] We took the gun for $400.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Sellers blurb:

    "Remington Enfield Pattern 14 (P-14).303 Britishicon Caliber. 26" barrel. Includes bayonet and scabbard."

    It is probably natural. I have an Eddystone M1917 and a P14 Eddystone stock, and they are both as dark as old railroad ties. Not stained, no oil, just very dark wood. I think it is a variant of American walnut.

    Any information on this rifle?

    I am new to this community (as of today) but was very interested in this thread. I have inherited a Pattern 14, marked ERA and serial number 93807. From other threads I believe I can narrow down the date of manufacture to between late October and early November 1916 and that it is an Eddystone Remington manufactured rifle. Can anybody confirm this for me? I am waiting to bring the gun over from Canadaicon to the UKicon while I get the necessary variations to my FAC but cannot wait to take it down to the range and shoot it. It has been in storage for at least the last 50 years and my father told me when I was younger it has only been shot about a dozen times in its entire existence. Any information that anybody can provide on this rifle would be much appreciated.

    Hello MAAD58. Sounds like a P14 made by Eddystone. It would have had the front and rear volley sights and unlikely that it was only fired 50 times. You also need to inspect the rifle very carefully. If it has any Remington or Winchester parts......I would not shoot the rifle as they had problems with the US made P14's with parts being not standard between the 3 manufacturers. If the bolt matches the SN you should have no problems. Regards, Rick.

    Welcome MAAD58: Try to post some photos of the rifle. There's a real simple way to upload directly from your hardrive (check the "sticky threads"). Your rifle probably is a 1916 from the serial number. Do you know if it's in an Eddystone stock and whether it's been through the Weedon repair? My own Eddystone is a favorite shooter even thought he bore is quite ugly.
