P14 w98
I've acquired this P14 fairly recently and I know very little about them. Was it just the bolt and action serial numbered on these? Also, would anyone know what the stamps on the butt disc represent.
Thanks

Holy Haystack is that an good looking piece for being one of the first P14 built, I'd love to call that piece mine. Check the back of the ladder sight (on top), there should be a S/N aswell. Is the Volley Sight still existing?

Excellent information, thanks.
Rear sight has a fine adjustment. Has a 4 digit serial number with a line through it. Also the leaf spring has a E, would that be Eddystone?
No rear volley but the front is a LES 2 with a short pointer for a MkIII.
Bore is shiny and sharp. Can't fault it with my eye.
Is it likely that it's been put together by a civilian/collector/enthusiast or possibly stock and sight have been replaced whilst in military service?
It also has a six pointed star and Z on the underside of the pistol grip. Can't see any other stamps.

Nothing for you to be sorry about Patrick. Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a shooter but it will be a good trade for another Lithgow.
Thanks again.

I just bought my first P14 and when I took the stock off the barrel was serial numbered also just forward of the receiver under the top hand guard. There were A LOT of things stamped under there so you may want to what yours has on it. I was surprised to find mine had the original barrel what I assume was the date stamped on it. It had a smaller 17' near the serial number. I could be wrong about this as I am very new to these rifles. I need to find a good book to read up on them.

Just an interesting little note to add to this thread for debate. I've learned that Winchester used Eddystone stocks and these are identified by a stamp under the butt plate. My rifle has the stamp (pictured).
Maybe this rifle isn't a mixmaster after all. Anyone care to add comment for my education.[COLOR="black"]

Look at the foreend of the stock, the part that comes out from the bayonet lug. There should be the manufacturers marking aswell.
