PAttern1914

What would be an expected MOA at 100yds for a brand new one of these?

I have quite a bit of info on a No4 Enfield but little on the number 3 What "goes wrong" that I need to look at to fix when stripping one? ie is there meant to be up pressure on the barrel? if so how much and where?

I have a Remington P-14 that turned 100 this year. It shoots moa with ex mil MF 56. Have never pulled the wood of it to see how its bedded.Not much if anything goes wrong with them.Shoot and enjoy!

I have a Remington P-14 that turned 100 this year.

They only made them in 1916 and 1917 so more like 98 or 97 years old. Check the right side of barrel under the rear hand guard to see the year it was made. It'll either show '16 or '17.

My mistake Kiwi, I have a Remington P-14 That's nearly 100 years old !

ssj: I would imagine the original dispersion specs would have been similar to most contemporary rifles- 3 or 4 MOA. I don't believe I've ever managed to locate original specs for stocking up but internet concensus seems to be a few lb up-pressure at forend tip. I assume it should be similar to the stocking up procedure for Model 1903 rifles which call for 5 lbs to pull barrel up to nosecap. I found one of mine required fairly significant shortening of the front collar to get good clamping of the wood. Both mine will do two inch groups at 100 yd if I work at it. If you ever locate original factory specs for stock fitment please post it.

Hi,

Thanks, a friend here who has a P14 gets (48mm) 1 ~ 7/8 inch or so MOA at 110yds with a fairly worn barrel. I am not sure if that is good , so so, or awful for a P14. He has never had anything done to it except he's put a wee bit of shim under the nose. That is using Russian Barnaul 174Gr flat base FMJs, 38gr 2208, DI 1943 brass.


regards

If you use Firefox then in a new tab type about:config

In the top search box type javascript

Below, javascript.enabled should appear, click on true it should toggle to false. Restart firefox and right click and do a copy link and paste into paint.


Quite why they think they own copyright is mindboggling.

If you cant manage it PM me and I'll send you a copy. Unfortunately the wood drawing doesnt work which is what I really wanted, oh well.

PS thanks promo never thought of that.
