    P14 “project” pics

    Hello, I came into an Eddystone P14 sporterized for free from a family member. The action, barrel etc was intact and in great shape but the bolt was not numbers matching (headspace good).Given the purchase price, I thought it would be a good pandemic project. I picked up a super cheap, repaired DP stock and then pieced together the remaining parts. I know they aren’t all matching and not perfect but she turns out to be a pretty good shooter that I have about $140 total into it. My goal was to leave all the battle scars intact. I shot a few rounds this weekend and the grouping was tight. I’ll also came into a sporterized 1917 for free and it will be my next project. I will be much more picky in the stock selection for that one as the numbers all match[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 114488[/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

    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.
