T stamped on the chamber
Hi,
I got an winchester M 1917 from 11-1918. There is the canadian broad arrow on the left side of the chamber and also an T. Can anybody explain this T to me ?
Thank you in advance
Gunner

i dont think its a "T" but im not sure ,
there were a number of winchesters reviewed for the "T"='telescopic sight' as well as a number for the "F"='fine adjustment backsight' , only some were actualy made up and that could be one that was rejected i supose ,

Hi A square 10,
The letter is definitely a T . The pic is not the best, sorry.
But thank you. Now i have a piece more in my puzzle.

Advisory Panel
IRRC "Without Warning" says that 80 P14s were fitted with Warner & Swasey scopes removed from Ross MkIII rifles in 1940/41. A few reportedly survive in Canada. It is stated that new bases were made for the rifles, which is possible. It is also possible that the originals were simply modified to fit the P14s. If your rifle has tapped screw holes in the right places (three in a row) it might be an ex-Warner & Swasey rifle. Otherwise it is doubtful this rifle was used for sniping or sniper training from what I've read.
