Eddystone P14 Rifle (N3 Mk1*)

4 shots out of my P14 built by ERA...Built in the USA at Eddystone for the British Empire during WW1. Eddystone had the highest production of the three companies that made P14's.

Do a review for this rifle.

[Gungeek]

@woodslore Its on the list.

Yeah, I had a lot of trouble using reloads in my Winchester P14 with the stripper clips too. They loaded ok, but the rounds hung up a lot in the reciever, I am guessing because I was using softnose Spitzer tips as opposed to Ball ammo? I have a few boxes of surplus .303 but I'd rather hold onto them seeing as how they are becoming rather scarce.

@thumperpaul Mine will feed any ammo its just the rims sometimes that hang up.

@TaZ101SAGA The No4 is the way it is because of this rifle.

@Gungeek How do these rifles perform compared to a good Lee-Enfield No4 say?

[Gungeek]

@TaZ101SAGA Yeah enfield chargers fit this rifle but work is another thing.

[TaZ101SAGA]

@Gungeek Oh smart, will Enfield stripper clips work with it? Im guessing no.
