P-14 or P-17 action ?

**mr humble** · 07-17-2022 05:23 PM

Acquired this 270-4000 (30 Newton necked to .277).
Only proof on Remington action is flaming bomb.
30 Newton had rim diameter close to 303.
Note safe removed.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

M1917 receiver very possibly with a P14 bolt magazine and follower?
P14's didn't get the flaming bomb proof stamp so that was easy enough. Although it's possible to work with a rifle without a safety speaking for myself I would never want to field one.

M1917 receiver from the looks of the markings peeking out from under the rear scope base.

Thanks guys.
Cannot believe I got this for <$200 TMD!
If bore is fried, I'll part it out, Unertl bases are worth 1/2 the price.
If I wanted a big bore I'd send it to JES and get a 35 or 400 Newton, add a Timney with a safe but I've given up on hard kickers.
More to follow when it arrives.

Nicely done that receiver. Far better than most, though the removal of the safety is a bit bizarre.

I think I see the M of MODEL under the scope block.
