Yeah, we know. Some of us just get over it and enjoy his rifles instead.

I enjoy all my rifles (200+) starting with a Mk1 and wandering along to several No4 Mk2s including P13 and 14s but not a M17 as yet.
Which is the best shooter the No4Ts and L42 are very good but I think the No3T maybe the best but then I wouldn't stand in front of any of them at 1000yds.

Oh yes there is! I bought one. Over here you get nothing else!
And when was the last time anyone referred to the "U.S. Model of 1917", as stamped on the P17
Given the option, why not use the correct term?
Of course no one, not even Americans, use the term "U.S. Model of 1917", in every day speech. The usual shortened term is M1917, as in M1, M16, etc.
Here in the UK we (well those of us who own one, like me) call them M1917. This neatly distinguishes them from the P'14.
I'll reiterate, given the option, why not use the correct term, rather than an incorrect one?

"Love the fiddleback walnut in the Long Lee wood!"
Me too, even if those irritated by "P17" ought to protest against the non-official designation "Long Lee".
I can nit-pick with the best of them, if it is appropriate in cases of doubtful authenticity. Otherwise, I too prefer to enjoy the rifles.
So, dances with gophers - which is the best shooter?
I have to say the Us Model of 1917. :-) is the more accurate of the 2, nice tight grouping even with my tired ol eyes . maybe the P14 has had more lead down the Barrel, But then i havent fired them that much , I find it more relaxing shooting my .22 trainers.
and easier on the shoulder .
