Pattern 1913 "Trials" Rifle (.276 in.) (click here) .....

This is a fascinating rifle to study in detail with some interesting oddities noted in the Collector's Comments section of the main Knowledge Libary entry. For example, the long range dial sights are mounted on the left side of the fore-end similar to the original Pattern 1914 rifles, plus a long range back sight is mounted on the left side of the receiver. Note however, that because of the experimental .276 caliber, the dial plate on the Pattern 1913 "Trials" rifle was NOT graduated as part of the original manufacturing process (see pics).
