Second Opinion on Weedon Repair Standard on an Eddystone

[AD-4NA]

I have an Eddystone P14 that I would love everyone's second opinion on verifying that it did go through the WRS process. (sorry no pics) Firstly, it does seem to have Enfield's "E" and six pointed star on the bottom of the stock behind the pistol grip, BUT it retains it's butt marking disk, and clearly marked manufacturers roundel on the stock (no sanding). The rear volley sight is missing entirely as opposed to the arm being milled off and the volley sight pointer and screw are removed but the dial plate has not been milled flat. Finally the bolt is a mismatch.

So did Enfield inspect it and not change much? (ie would it be silly to put volley sights back on it!?)

Many of these were put out to the gun trade to unpack and degrease - Purdey's did many thousands.
It is common to find just the pointer removed - sometimes the boss for mounting it is milled off, more rarely still the entire plate has been milled flat with the makings removed.

I've had P'14 rifles that could be described exactly as yours. I'd guess not all were done at Weedon. As Mk.VII says, many were farmed out into the trade. You can put the volley sights back on if you want. I used to when they weren't blatantly marked as WRS and the dial plates weren't ground. I still have a few spare apertures if you decide to go that route.
