    The P.14 with the W&S scopes were assembled after WWI, somewhere around 1940 if I'm not mistaken. Aswell if I remember correctly, the scopes were sent to the UKicon where at least 80 of those should have been assembled.

    That is the information in Without Warning, by Clive Law, but I think this thread was about the fitting of Winchester A5 scopes during WWI and whether that was done by the CEF. It would make sense, if the Canadians did to fit scopes to the P14 in WWI, but whether that actually happened still seems to be unknown.
