Beautiful. Still looks like a new born hard to believe it's 100 years old. I would love to care for her in her twilight years

TWILIGHT years wash your mouth out with soap and detol young man. Absolutely no current reason why it and mine wont be here in another 100yrs. Just need another carer or two after me and youngest daughter and thats up to her.

I surely hope Bindi that you didn't think for one second that serious and that I was infering that at some point soon this rifle and others in this age bracket may mysteriously turn to dust and disappear from the face of the earth?

And in a few short years, EVERY surviving P-14 that was ever made will have had its centenary.

No i have some that have gone past the ton by more than a bit and i dont think they will vaporious any time soon. Twilight will be when ammo is non exsistant and can not be made.
