    British Pattern 1914 with modified muzzle threads

    The last of the experimental rifles. This one has a threaded muzzle for some sort of muzzle attachment.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    That rifle looks darn right svelte with that barrel length.
    Might be a fun project for the next chopped down 1917 I run across.

    Do I see it correctly that the rifle is shortened too?

    Is the thread 1/2" UNF? If so, that could be for a supressor, as that is/was the standard Britishicon thread for that use.

    I have not measured it. Thread form would have been what ever was common for 1920 to 1930's. I have assumed shortened rifle was made up by Soley for some reason.

    The barrel diameter of a P14 at that point is about .600" so 1/2" threads seems about right. However, the length of the threaded section is seemingly about the same as the diameter or 1/2". So, with seven threads showing, that makes either 1/2-13 NC or 1/2-14 NPT. A little more coarse than 20TPI. And yes, I have way too much spare time today. Tom

    Half inch pipe thread is much larger than 1/2” diameter. Something more in the neighborhood of .80”.
    I’d go with 1/2-13 or else some other weird thread from the day.
