    As someone currently considering the purchase of a P14 Eddystone is there any data/documents available that would indicate that the Britishicon or Commonwealth forces experienced similar problems with their rifles during both World Wars? I believe the only significant difference is the cartridge fired. Like the M17 Eddystone was the great supplier and produced over 600,000 of the over one million rifles made.

    Thanks, this posting was very informative.

    Whether or not there's data on paper, there's differences in the rifles by manufacture, not just caliber. All parts are NOT interchangeable. All you need to do is study the forum on these rifles and read. Take your info from there.
