WW1 Remington P14 British Excellent! like US 1917 : Curios & Relics at GunBroker.com


Sold for $850.00 U.S.

Excellent condition British contract Remington P14 WW1 303 British caliber rifle. Excellent all matching rifle with small early “CAI, ST Albains VT” import mark on left side of receiver. Original faded blue finish remaining on receiver and barrel! Bore has strong rifling with a bit of frosting. Stock is excellent with 1914 date and is numbered to the rifle. Serial number in the 312 thousand range. RE marked for Remington Eddystone with various British military proofs. Serial numbers match on receiver, stock (both on disk and on stock itself), magazine plate, rear sight, and bolt. Various parts marked with usual “R” for Remington code. The stock is a beauty with a few scuff marks, but basically as issued with beautiful unsanded patina. These are impossible to find in this condition and it’s the best P14 I’ve had and about the second best I’ve seen in years of collecting. If you want an excellent example of an American made British contract WW1 P14 that would lead to our US 1917, this is it! Offered with NO RESERVE!

Thanks for the photos Doug, it saves hopping back and forth to check the photos!

Another irritating point: on both sides on can see that the stock wood changes color a inch or so behind the grasping grooves. Is that where someone took a break from sanding down the wood?

There were also P.14 Mk.II rifles which didn't have a volley sight dialer plate at front. However, those replacement stocks still had the shorter finger grooves, not the long style as of the M1917 rifles.

Don't worry - in a few years someone will be proudly presenting that as "part of its history"
