British Pattern 1914 rifle altered to 7.92mm Mauser caliber

[tiriaq]

It would be a lot easier to convert a M1917 to 7.92 than a P'14.

easier to convert a M1917

At least you have an action that's mostly correct. That was the whole idea though, make these into something someone else wanted.

I recently purchased this rifle, but don't have it in my hands yet - also a P.14 in M1917 stock in 8x57IS caliber.

Can you post a better closeup of the small marking on your receiver? Is it a serifed L in a circle (for Liege in Belgium)?

Edit: just an idea ... Soley sold 8x57IS converted P.14 also to Spain. And it was said that some Mosin Nagant converted to 8x57IS caliber also ended up in Spain and were later imported to the US. Plus the "CAL. 7.92 MAUSER" is something I would connect with Spain since you can also find the "cal. 7.92" on the La Coruna Mauser rifles.
